Navigia teamed up with Hamburg-based Apollo Shipping early last year to order the initial half-dozen units at Goa-based Chowgule.

The first is pencilled in for de­livery in October and the others will follow at four-month intervals through 2008. That raft of newbuildings cost EUR 6.4m ($7.6m) each but it is understood that the next six will be more expensive.

Navigia is said to be pleased with Chowgule's progress so far. Next month sees the keel laying of the second vessel. No delays have been reported.

The construction of ships con­tinued while the Indian yard was rebuilt. Its new cranes were also manufactured at the Goa facility. Chowgule became an associate member of the Groningen, Netherlands-based marketing and design organisation Conoship, which made the original approach to Schoning group and Apollo.

Conoship is also responsible for supplying equipment needed in India. The main engines will be built by MaK. Navigia is also located in Groningen.

The newbuilding price at Chowgule includes various costs such as supervision during construction.

Apollo, which is described as totally independent of Schoning, will handle commercial management of the Chowgule series. They will be employed on long-term Apollo contracts.

Navigia is the crewing and technical manager.
In the past, Navigia has been a major customer in China where, along with its partners in WMS Shipping of Groningen, it ordered first eight and then a further six 700-teu containerships.

Four vessels have been delivered and the rest will arrive at two month intervals during 2006 and 2007.
Broking house Walther Moller GmbH of Hamburg is responsible for chartering. Moller and Reederei Gebruder Winter are also WMS partners.

Team Lines has chartered one of the ships already delivered, while the others are working in the Far East. Some reports suggest the total of 700-teu boxships ordered at Mawei may be as high as 18.

Contracts at the same yard for Navigia, 1.300-teu containerships never materialised.
In 2004, the company also ordered an 855-teu containership in China but construction on the ship has been delayed.
