Safmarine Chachai, a new 4500 teu, Safmarine-branded WAFMAX containership, was delivered to Safmarine, Monday 21 May, 2012. The Safmarine Chachai - which features Safmarine's distinctive bright white hull - joins her sister-ships, the Safmarine Chilka and Safmarine Chambal, in the A.P Moller-Maersk fleet. "Not only has this modern new vessel been purpose-built for the growing trade with Africa, but it is yet another example of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group's commitment to investing in modern, more environmentally-friendly vessels and in growing and strengthening the Safmarine brand," said Safmarine CEO, Grant Daly. The Safmarine Chachai and her sister ships were built by Hyundai Heavy Industries and are fitted with super long-stroke main engines and a waste heat recovery system to reduce emissions and save fuel.
