Danish liner giant Maersk Line welcomed its latest boxship yesterday, which turns out to be the largest container vessel in the world. While Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) from Japan was triumphant in announcing the then record breaking delivery of the 20,179teu MOL Triumph last month, Maersk, famously cagey over releasing actual ship capacities, took the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) Madrid Maersk with little fanfare yesterday.
The Madrid Maersk is the first of 11 EEE Mark II class boxships due for delivery and according to Alphaliner, it has a capacity of 20,568 teu. The series will complete delivery by the second quarter of next year.
