Maersk adds fresh layer of boxes, making 7,450-TEUer into 8,500 TEUer

DANISH shipping giant Maersk is to make eight of its 7,450 TEU ships into 8,500-TEU vessels by adding two extra layers of containers stowed forward of the accommodation block and raising the wheelhouse to see over the highest stacks.

But the report from Paris-based Alphaliner did not said whether the remaining eight SAM-MAX vessels would be retrofitted with an elevated wheelhouse and a 1,500 TEU capacity increase.

The upgrade is taking place at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) Okpo yard at the outfitting berth with its first ship of Maersk Lota to be delivered and deployed on its Far East-ECSA route.
