Container lashing order
The 23,500+ teu vessels will be built at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in South Korea.
Lutz-Michael Dyck, senior director, strategic asset projects, Hapag-Lloyd, said that cargo systems played an important role in the efficient operation of a container ship. “Hapag-Lloyd and MacGregor have worked together closely and developed the optimum cargo system for this vessel series to ensure the best cargo efficiency,” he said.
Magnus Sjöberg, senior vice president, merchant solutions, MacGregor, called Hapag-Lloyd which with 253 ships is currently the world’s fifth largest container carrier, a ‘strategic customer’. “Over the years we have worked together closely to find ways to improve the cargo efficiency on existing ships and newbuildings,” he said.
“In this project, we have been collaborating on concept design and cargo system configuration from the very early stages,” he added.
The order was booked into Cargotec’s 2022 third quarter orders received. The vessels are scheduled to be delivered to the owner between the second quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2024.
