Hai An expands container fleet with delivery of Green View
Vietnamese shipping company Hai An Transport and Stevedoring has expanded its container fleet following the delivery of GREEN VIEW, a 2,702 TEU containership acquired through its affiliated company, Hai An Green Shipping Lines.
The vessel, previously named BUXMELODY, was officially delivered on November 11, 2026, following the completion of ownership transfer procedures with Hong Kong-based Melody Transport Limited. According to Hai An, the handover documents were signed in Hong Kong, while the company’s technical and ship management teams simultaneously completed the vessel takeover at the Vung Tau anchorage in Vietnam.
With the addition of GREEN VIEW, Hai An’s fleet has increased to 21 containerships, representing a combined carrying capacity of approximately 35,700 TEU. The vessel is also the third ship owned by Hai An Green Shipping Lines, reflecting the group’s continued investment in expanding its regional container shipping operations.
Green View to continue operations under OOCL charter
Built in Germany in 2008, GREEN VIEW has a deadweight capacity of 38,069 tonnes, an overall length of 215.4 metres and a beam of 29.8 metres. Its nominal container capacity comprises 1,596 TEU on deck and 1,106 TEU below deck, while the vessel is equipped with 500 reefer plugs and has a maximum speed of 21.5 knots.
The Liberian-flagged containership, identified by IMO number 9377145, will remain deployed under an existing time charter agreement with OOCL, serving the Vietnam–China–Thailand trade. The arrangement allows the vessel to continue operating within an established regional service following the ownership transfer.
Hai An said the acquisition forms part of its fleet development strategy, which combines investment in newbuildings with purchases of second-hand vessels. The approach is intended to increase carrying capacity and support the company’s participation in regional container shipping markets.
The latest delivery follows Hai An’s continued investment in fleet expansion as the Vietnamese operator develops its presence across intra-Asian trade routes.
