Rickmers launches container giant pair for Maersk charter

摘要

February 17 saw the naming of two more 13,100TEU container vessels for the Rickmers Group in Ulsan, Korea. 'Leo Rickmers' and 'Scorpio Rickmers' will come into service for their charterer Maersk Line as 'Maersk Edmonton' and 'Maersk Elba'. Built by Hyundai Heavy Industries, the two new vessels belong to a series of eight 13,100TEU container ships which have been chartered for a ten-year-period to Maersk Line. Four similar sister vessels were delivered last year.
