What is the average cost of construction of a container ship?
A current contract running in India will see 8 ships with a capacity of about 9,600 TEU delivered for about $130 million US. (The TEU is capacity measured in twenty-foot equivalent units meaning standard 20-foot containers.) Note that the cost of the vessel described is based on a contract for multiple (8!) units. Your per cost average will be higher for a single ship like the one given as an example.
