Maersk Mega-Container Ships Coming Down the Stocks Fast

November 19, 2013

Daewoo Marine Shipbuilding and Engineering (DMSE) yard in South Korea continues to produce the new Triple-E ships for Maersk Line at a very high rate; the fifth ship of the series 'Maribo Mærsk', is to be officially named later.

Despite the ships' record dimensions, DMSE has been able to deliver a new ship just a month-and-a-half apart.

The interest in Maersk Line's new Triple-E container ships has been enormous, ever since the first image of the upcoming Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller, the first ship in the series, was published in the spring.



Maersk Line has ordered a total of 20 Triple-E ships from the South Korean shipyard.
