Maersk ships set container demolition records with its 9,600 teu ship Sine Maersk heading to Aliaga in Turkey for demolition, says an article published in Splash 247.
Ships for recycling
Maersk ships continue to set container demo records. According to Alphaliner:
- The 7,403 teu Kokura (Katrine Maersk) and Kawasaki (Kirsten Maersk), have only just arrived in India for breaking.
- A lengthened and jumboised sister of this Odense-built type will soon become the largest-ever container vessel to be recycled.
The 1998-built 9,600 teu ship Sine Maersk is headed to Aliaga in Turkey for demolition.
Why Turkey?
Alphaliner estimates Maersk got $100 less per ldt by opting to send this ship to Turkey, not south Asia, for recycling.
