MOL takes delivery of 20,000-TEUer for THE Alliance A-E run
JAPANESE shipping line MOL has taken delivery of a 20,182-TEU newbuilding, named MOL Truth, at the Saijo Shipyard of Imabari Shipbuilding Co. The vessel will be deployed by THE Alliance on the Asia-North Europe trade.
The MOL Truth is the first containership of this size to be built at a Japanese shipyard, and is the fifth in a series of six 20,000-TEU MOL ships.
The MOL Truth adopts a host of advanced technologies, including features to lower CO2 emissions by 25-30 per cent, per container, in comparison with the carrier's 14,000-TEU ships.
The ship's design also allows conversion to LNG fuel, in anticipation of stricter regulations governing vessel exhaust emissions in future, reported New York's Marine Link.
The sixth and final vessel in the series is under construction at Imabari Shipbuilding's Marugame Shipyard and is scheduled for delivery in January 2018.
