Korean yard starts building world's largest containership for CSCL

20/01/2014

Move aside, Maersk McKinney Moller. Hyundai Heavy Industries claims it has started building what will be the world’s next largest-ever boxship for China Shipping Container Lines. At 19,000teu, it passes the 18,270teu capacity of Maersk’s biggest vessel, and will be swiftly followed by four more for CSCL to be delivered by the end of Q1 next year.

Just what the container industry needs, another supersized ship! Like throwing an anvil to a drowning man.
