In typical Maersk fashion, the Danish liner giant welcomed its latest boxship yesterday, April 11, which turns out to be the largest container vessel in the world. While Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) from Japan was triumphant in announcing the then record breaking delivery of the 20,179 teu MOL Triumph last month, Maersk, famously cagey over releasing actual ship capacities, took the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) Madrid Maersk with little fanfare yesterday, April 11. The Madrid Maersk is the first of 11 EEE Mark II class boxships due for delivery and according to Alphaliner it has a capacity of 20,568 teu. The series will complete delivery by the second quarter of next year.
