JIANGSU New Yangzi Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of Yangzijiang Shipbuilding, has delivered the fourth 3,500-TEU ship, named Maersk Glacier, to the Japanese shipowner Lepta Shipping, reports Rotterdam's Offshore Energy.
The company signed a charter deal with Danish shipping giant AP Moller Maersk for the new environmentally friendly feeder. The ship is part of a series of 10 new energy-efficient vessels Maersk has taken on a seven-year time charter intended for its Intra-Americas trade.
"The 3,500-TEU vessels will be named after US national parks, and will be delivered through mid-2024," said Maersk.
With an overall length of 200 metres, a molded width of 36.4 metres, and a molded depth of 20.6 metres, Maersk Glacier has been classed by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
The construction of this ship commenced in July 2022, and three ships from the series have already been delivered. Those are Maersk Acadia, Maersk Biscayne, and Maersk Everglades, which are deployed on North America Express service, calling ports in the US east coast, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.
