Largest Freight Container Vessel Yet Calls at UK Port
UK – The growth in the new generation of container ocean freight carriers that are just entering service means that of late there have been a host of record size vessels calling into British ports. Now the largest container ship to call in North Europe so far has made its maiden call at the Port of Felixstowe. The 20,568 TEU Madrid Maersk, operated on the NEU2 Asia to Europe service from the 2M shipping alliance between Maersk and MSC, has arrived at the port, with over 6,000 TEU for the UK loaded in China and Malaysia. Commenting on the latest record-breaker to call at the UK’s largest container port, Clemence Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of the Port of Felixstowe and Managing Director of Hutchison Ports Europe, said: “The Port of Felixstowe is firmly established as the port of first-choice in the UK for the largest mega ships. We were the first in the UK to handle this latest class of vessel and continue to offer the widest and most frequent range of services on the major Asia - Europe trade.” Built by South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, the Madrid Maersk is 399 metres long, has a beam of 58.6 metres and is the first of Maersk Line’s second generation Triple-Es, known officially as the EEE Mark II. The original Triple-Es have been regular callers at Felixstowe since 2013. Delivery of the remaining 10 Triple-E Mark II’s is expected to take place between now and the middle of 2018. http://www.handyshippingguide.com/shipping-news/largest-freight-container-vessel-yet-calls-at-uk-port_8085
Madrid Maersk calls first port on its maiden voyage.- Tianjin in China
Maersk Line deploys its first 2nd generation Triple-E On 27 April 2017, Madrid Maersk, a 20,568 TEU container vessel and the first 2nd generation Triple-E, called the Port of Tianjin in China. This was the first port on its maiden voyage. Maersk Line says it has deployed Madrid Maersk in its Asia – Europe service network. Madrid Maersk is the first in a series of eleven (11) 2nd generation Triple-E vessels. It is also the first of the 27 vessels Maersk Line ordered in 2015 to enter service. Maersk Line will take delivery of the vessels until end of 2018 and they will replace older and less efficient tonnage. Maersk Line has not taken delivery of own new-buildings since July 2015. Maersk Line’s remaining order book consists of ten (10) 2nd generation Triple-E vessels, nine (9) 15,226 TEU and seven (7) 3,596 TEU container vessels. The order book corresponds to 11% of Maersk Line’s current fleet – a relatively small order book when compared to the industry’s order book of around 15%. http://en.portnews.ru/news/238408/
