EVERGREEN's 23,992-TEU Ever Ace will be delivered by Samsung Heavy Industries in July to surpass HMM's latest boxship as the world's biggest by a mere 28 TEU - a record that has been broken often in the last five years.
The ship, sporting a new green look, will be deployed on Evergreen's CEM service connecting Asia with North Europe, according to Alphaliner.
The Ever Ace is the first of 10 in a series that Evergreen will receive from Samsung Heavy in South Korea and CSSC in China this year and next, reported Singapore's Splash 247.
The Ever Ace features a new bulbless design and a hull with a bright green colour, a departure from previous Evergreen liveries.
Alphaliner describes the new Evergreen ship as coming with a highly-flared bow and a full width of 24 container rows in the first bay. Lashing bridges reach four tiers high with so-called Mickey Mouse ears into the fifth tier.
Containership size records have repeatedly been broken in recent years, climbing above the 20,000 TEU mark for the first time in 2017. Boxships have nearly quadrupled in size.
