According to an article published in Splash247 News, HMM has taken delivery of its record-breaking 23,964 teu boxship.
Record-breaking delivery
The HMM has provided details of its mega boxship series that is ready to set sail from May onwards. The vessel has cinched the world’s largest containership title in the process, with a host of rivals tipped to be readying their own megamax orders.
The HMM Algericas, the first in the series of seven sister vessels, will have a nominal container capacity of 23,964 teu when it delivers from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, 208 teu larger than the current largest boxships afloat, the MSC Gulsun and its five sister ships.
Vessel specifications
The 400 m long HMM ship features 24 rows across – it and all its sister newbuilds which will deliver by the end of September – will join the Asia – North Europe FE4 loop of THE Alliance, which HMM will join on April 1.
HMM, MSC, CMA CGM, and Evergreen have opted for these 24-row across giant ships, approaching 24,000 teu in capacity. Other carriers are planning to follow suit by investing in more mega vessels.
