HMM takes delivery of HMM Nuri, the first of eight 16,000 TEU-class newbuild containerships, says a press release published on their website.
Maiden voyage
HMM Nuri, the first of eight 16,000 TEU-class newbuild containerships of HMM, starts its first voyage from the port of Busan in Korea.
HMM’s 16,000 TEU container vessels have been built at the Ulsan shipyard of Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and are scheduled to be delivered from this March throughout the second quarter of 2021.
HMM Nuri’s service
HMM Nuri will be deployed on the Far East Europe 4(FE4) route under THE Alliance’s product plan, with its port rotation of Busan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Yantian, Singapore, Suez Canal, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Southampton, Suez Canal, Yantian, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Busan.
About the vessels
The vessel has a nominal capacity of 16,010 TEU and is equipped with 1,200 plugs for reefer containers.
Enhanced environmental capabilities
HMM is expected to enhance its environmental capabilities by adding newly-launched eight 16,000 TEU containerships.
Open-loop scrubber system with hybrid-ready technology
Each ship is fitted with an open-loop scrubber system embedded with hybrid-ready technology, and selective catalytic reduction technology has been applied to reduce NOx emissions by 80% or more compared to the industry average.
Reduce carbon footprint
The carbon footprint per vessel also can be reduced by 52% with greater energy efficiency, enabling HMM to accelerate the pathway towards decarbonisation.
Wind-resistant structure
Besides, HMM Nuri and her seven sister vessels have adopted a full range of modern container securing systems to improve operational safety. In particular, the lashing bridges have been designed as a wind-resistant structure that ensures reliable securing of containers from high winds.
Operational data will be transmission
The latest smart ship solution is one of the remarkable features of the vessels. All operational data will be transmitted to HMM’s Fleet Control Centre in real-time to have complete visibility over the ships.
HMM plans expanding capacity
HMM expects to strengthen its service competitiveness with a total of twenty highly efficient mega vessels, including twelve of the world`s largest 24,000 TEU container ships acquired last year. HMM plans to expand its capacity to about one million TEUs by 2022.
