Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Philippines (HHIC-Phil Inc.) has delivered its second Subic-built 20,600-TEU class container vessel, reinforcing its position in the global shipbuilding market, reported London's Sea News.
The Naming Ceremony was held on 25 May 2018 at HHIC-Phil Inc.'s 326-hectare Subic facility. Attendees included CMA CGM executive vice president Mr Ludovic Gerard, CMA CGM lawyer Mr Jerome Filippi, Career Philippines Shipmanagement chairman Mr Meertinus KS Oggel and Mrs Clara Oggel-Lee, the vessel's godmother.
Measuring 400 metres long, 59 metres wide and 33 metres deep, the vessel is among the largest commercial ships afloat. It can carry 20,600 forty-foot containers, which if lined up would stretch 12.5 kilometres. Its deck spans the area of four football fields.
The ship is the second of three Ultra Large Container Ships (ULCS) ordered by CMA CGM under a 2015 newbuilding contract. The first was delivered earlier this year, and the third is scheduled for handover in September.
Construction was supervised by classification society Bureau Veritas. HHIC-Phil Inc. said the project showcased Filipino technical skill and innovation, meeting international standards.
Since its first delivery in 2009, HHIC-Phil Inc. has exported 117 merchant vessels, including containerships, bulk carriers, suezmax and aframax tankers, VLCCs, LPG carriers and floating docks. The total export value exceeds US$7 billion, placing the Philippines among the world's top five shipbuilding nations.
