Cosco orders Triple-E Megaships

  China Cosco Holdings Co. is set to order at least 10 container megaships, the Wall Street Journal reports. Triple-E vessels, which can move 19,000 containers each, will be ordered from a Chinese yard and cost around US$1.4 billion in total. When fully loaded, Triple-E's can cut the cost of moving a container across the oceans by around 25% in an industry that carries about 95% of the world's manufactured goods.

Lines, Ltd. has ordered six 20, 000 TEU containerships whereas the French liner company CMA CGM has ordered three 20,600 TEU boxships at Hanjin Heavy Industries.  In the start, I was forthright with you propecia before and after has changed my essence.
