Nothing, Maersk "new" five million cases of Boats

    Maersk Shipping ship through a series of modifications to enhance the capacity plan, at relatively low cost situation increases the 55000TEU capacity, which is equivalent to virtually "add" the five million boxes ship.
    Tradewinds reported, Alphaliner data show that in the past five years, Maersk has been about 40 of its transformation carried through hull capacity upgrade, each ship can be improved through the cabin upgrade project 1000TEU more capacity.
    According to the company, the capacity upgrade, is by increasing the level of the realization of the cab, which further enhance the two horizontally placed at the height of the container on the basis of existing, so that the ship can not affect the visibility of the cab case, the number of loaded container ship is improved. Judging from the literal meaning, the capacity of these ships can be a substantial increase, while the loading of containers of 14 tons / TEU this figure remains unchanged, only the cab height resulting in a change. Meanwhile, dwt hull in fact not much change, but due to the transformation process in the steel changes occur, which makes dwt vessels will be subject to a very slight loss.
    According to Alphaliner said the additional capacity generated by the transformation of the ship will help them load more empty container ships at the one-way traffic, such as the Far East - Europe Westbound route, these routes container substantially 10.5-11 tonnes / TEU. At the same time, it also helps to load more containers container ship at the time of return. However, despite the hull capacity promoted, but will not necessarily ship loading capacity resulting in growth, which is due at the time of one-way route is likely to occur all loaded containers are loaded state.
    Maersk Line said that the current program will choose the first container ship in the transformation of one fifth of the ship to complete the first batch of reform, including "Gudrun Maersk" number series six sister ship, these vessels from existing capacity 9500TEU upgraded to 10888TEU.
    According to Alphaliner said the latest reconstruction project will be conducted in Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, the transformation cycle is generally 6-8 weeks each ship. The project is the last ship "Gjertrud Maersk" number will leave the shipyard at the end of December 2015.
    According to Alphaliner records show that Maersk Line has been in the past to enhance the capacity of steel through the transformation of the hull. The company's 17 S-class container ship was in 2011--2012 years upgrading capacity through this way, upgrade from the original 8200TEU to 9600TEU. After the 2012--2013 years, to 16 SAMMAX Maersk container ship in 8 to transform its capacity increased from 7450TEU to 8700TEU. During 2013, Maersk Line will include "Maersk Stepnica" including five with the type of ship to transform from 8397TEU enhance the capacity to 9643TEU.
    Alphaliner representation, Maersk will continue to further expand the fleet capacity through the transformation of the ship. The company's next plan is to ship carried six 9700TEUG level capacity upgrade. Maersk ship through a series of modifications to enhance the capacity to plan, at relatively low cost 55000TEU increased capacity situation, which is equivalent to virtually "add" the five million boxes ship.
