THE 13,386-TEU Cosco Denmark has been delivered, the last of eight same-size vessels ordered in May 2008 from Nantong Cosco KHI Ship Engineering (NACKS) for US$166.8 million a piece, reports Alphaliner.
NACKS, a joint venture between Cosco and Kawasaki Heavy Industries that is also known as Nantong Ocean Ship Engineering (NOSEC), has already built four 9,850-TEUers in the Cosco Oceania series in 2008.
The new 13,386-TEUers were handed over 12 months later than scheduled, as deliveries were deferred because of the 2008 world economic downturn.
Post panamaxes can stow 20 rows of containers abeam, exceeding the 19-rows limit on the soon-to-be enlarged Panama Canal.
After a cheap bunker voyage to the Russian Port of Vostochny, the Cosco Denmark is to join the FE-USWC "HTW/SEA" service jointly operated with Evergreen.
It will not only be the biggest ship on this service but also the largest ship in Cosco's transpacific fleet, joining five other Cosco ships of 13,092 TEU, including three chartered to Evergreen.
