ZHOUSHAN Changhong International Shipyard Co LTD (Changhong International) recently delivered the eighth 5,300 TEU container ship 'Navios Utmost' to the Greek shipowner navios Maritime Partner LP Navios Partners via video link.
There are ten 5,300 TEU container ships in this series, with a total length of about 237.8 metres, a beam of 38.8 metres, and a depth of 21.8 metres, which are classed by DNV, reports China's iMarine.
The ship design breaks through the limitations of the narrow hull of traditional container ships and adopts the innovative wide-hull concept to optimize the line shape.
It is equipped with an energy-efficient and energy-saving reduced-power main engine, low fuel consumption, and the EEDI energy consumption index is more than 30 lower than the baseline index, meeting the Phase 3 requirements.
Equipped with a 2.5- layer lashing bridge, the ship can carry 3,845 TEU, which is 145-345 TEU more compared to other designs of the same ship.
It is understood that the shipowner Navios Partners has recently returned to the Korean shipbuilding market and exercised the option for two alternative container ship orders previously placed with South Korea's HJ Shipbuilding & Construction (formerly Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction (HHIC)).
The new ships are expected to be delivered starting March 2027.
