DSME delivers EEE-type number four: MARIE MAERSK (18,270 teu) Maersk Line is to take delivery this week of the 18,270 teu MARIE MAERSK from South Korea's DSME shipyard. The vessel is the fourth unit in the carrier's series of 20 ultra-large triple-E container ships and it will phase into Maersk's 'AE10' Far East to Europe and Baltic Sea service, where it is to replace the 15,500 teu EUGEN MAERSK. Before phase-in, the ship will perform a bunkering trip on Oct. 27 to Vostochniy to take advantage of the lower prices of heavy fuel oil in the Russian Northeast. In the EEE-type series, the MARIE MAERSK follows the MARY MAERSK, delivered in early September.
