ESL receives its first of two 4,770-TEU vessels - Emirates Pearl

Emirates Shipping Line (ESL) has received its first of two 4,770-TEU vessels ordered by Hamburg's Hammonia Shipping and built by China's Jiangsu New Yangzijiang shipyard. The Hammonia Istria will be chartered under the name of Emirates Pearl and be deployed on its CIS China-India service to replace the 4,250-TEU Jpo Vela. ESL runs the service in partnership with OOCL and APL, which markets the loop as CIX. ESL provides one of the six vessels on this service. The baby-overpanamax vessel has a length of 255.10 metres and a beam of 37.3 metres, equivalent of 15 rows and offers 600 reefer plugs. The Jiangsu 4,800-TEU vessels are strikingly similar to the Hyundai-built Maersk Wafmax (Maersk-C-type) series except for the fact the baby-over panamax is gearless rather than fully geared.

First Jiangsu 4800 wide-beam delivered

China’s Jiangsu New Yangzijiang Shipyard, a prolific builder of container vessels, has delivered the first of a new type of 4,770 teu baby-overpanamax ships. The ship has been named HAMMONIA ISTRIA and she will soon join Emirates Shipping Line under the charter name EMIRATES PEARL. The Dubai-based carrier will deploy the ship to its ‘CIS’ China – India service (#954), offered in partnership with OOCL and APL (who market the loop as ‘CIX’). ESL provides one of the six ships on the service and the EMIRATES PEARL will replace the 4,250 teu JPO VELA, which is to be returned to her owners.
