Maersk's 18,270-TEU ship replaces 8,400 TEUer on Asia-Europe run
APM-Maersk has taken delivery of the 18,270-TEU Mayview Maersk, the tenth ship in a 20-ship series that were ordered in Korea from the Daewoo shipyard (DSME) in 2011.
The newbuilding will be deployed at the end of July on the carrier's Asia-Europe AE-10 service.
The vessel replaces the 15,550-TEU Elly Maersk, which is joining the AE-2 loop that is being gradually upgraded from using ships of 8,400 TEU to 15,000 TEU, reported Alphaliner.
