SEASPAN Corporation, a Vancouver-headquartered, but Hong Kong administered company, has taken delivery of another 14,000-TEU vessel, the YM Width, constructed at CSBC Corporation in Taiwan.

The ship is the company`s eighth 14,000-TEU SAVER design containership and fourth delivery so far this year. This is the second 14,000-TEU box ship using its fuel-efficient SAVER design constructed at CSBC.

The YM Width will commence a 10-year, fixed-rate time charter with Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp with an option to extend the charter for two years. The delivery of the YM Width expands the company`s operating fleet to 89 vessels.
