Maersk receives 11th 18,270-TEU ship to join Asia-Europe trade
DENMARK's Maersk Line has taken delivery of the Merete Maersk, the 11th 18,270-TEU ship that are being built at the Daewoo shipyard (DSME) in South Korea.
Ordered in 2011, the ship is joining the shipping line's Asia-Europe (AE-10) service, replacing the 15,550-TEU Edith Maersk, which is to operate Maersk's Far East to Europe loop (AE-2).
The Edith Maersk will replace the 8,400-TEU Maersk Saigon, the last of the smaller ships on the AE-2, which will henceforth be run with 11 vessels of 13,000-15,500 TEU, reported Alphaliner.
The Merete Maersk follows the Mayview Maersk, delivered in July. The 12th unit in the series, Mogens Maersk, is scheduled for delivery in mid-September, after which the AE-10 will deploy a full fleet of 18,270 TEU ships.
The last eight Triple E class ships are scheduled for delivery in September 2015.
