Change really must be underway at Mediterranean Shipping Co. What was previously the most secretive of container shipping lines has published a two minute video of the construction of what is now the world’s largest box ship. At 19,224teu, and with a draft of 16 metres, the vessel will be deployed by the line in the 2M alliance it has formed with Maersk. The MSC Oscar is owned by China’s Bank of Communications and on long-term charter to MSC.
