yesterday.“This magnificent vessel, the OOCL Miami, is another shining
example of Hudong-Zhonghua’s skills and craftsmanship in building top
quality ships,” said Mr. Andy Tung, Chief Executive Officer of OOCL, at the christening ceremony. “The shipyard has made a name for itself in the international shipbuilding
community by taking great leaps in developing home-grown technologies
that make Chinese industries proud.”“In today’s challenging container shipping environment, many
carriers are constantly looking for ways to improve vessel efficiencies
and Hudong-Zhonghua has been instrumental in delivering yet another
vessel to meet OOCL’s objectives.”OOCL Miami is the third of the eight 8,888 TEU vessels that OOCL had
commissioned Hudong-Zhonghua to build and the technological improvements have refined the vessel’s ability to be more fuel efficient. When
sailing at optimal performance, the OOCL Miami can not only help lower
power consumption levels but also reduce emissions to improve the air
quality in the environment.OOCL Miami is 335 meters long, 42.8 meters wide with deadweight of
approximately 101,566 mt.. She will be deployed on OOCL’s Trans-Pacific
network’s Super Shuttle Express (SSX) service. Her 42-day port rotation
