THE 24,000-TEU MSC Micol built by Yangzi Xinfu Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group, was delivered to the shipowners Seaspan and Swiss-based container shipping giant Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and put into operation.
With the latest delivery, the first of six containerships has been completed, reports Rotterdam's Offshore Energy.
According to the shipbuilder, the vessel is currently the new generation of ultra-large container ships with the largest load capacity and largest container volume in the world.
The total length of the boxship is 399.99 metres, the width is 61.3 metres, and the deck area is 24,000 square metres. This type of ship adopts new designs such as an air lubrication system, a shaft generator and a new invisible bulbous bow.
In April this year, MSC welcomed another 24,000 TEU vessel from Yangzi Xinfu Shipbuilding, MSC Loreto.
MSC has taken delivery of four 24,000 TEU ships, MSC Tessa, MSC Raya, MSC Irina, and MSC Celestino Maresca. The shipping giant has the largest orderbook by far in the industry with 14 containerships on order.
