THAILAND's Regional Carrier Lines (RCL) has returned to CSSC-affiliated Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding in Guangzhou with a deal for two additional 4,400 TEU vessels.

The order which follows a quarter booked earlier this year at US$56.6 million apiece will see the latest duo delivered by November and December 2027 for the same price tag, according to Singapore's Splash 247.

RCL currently stands 24th on Alphaliner's list of largest carriers, with 29 owned ships in its fleet totalling 63,885 TEU, and 10 newbuilds which will nearly double its carrying capacity when delivered.
