Description:

History is happening again, for this new container vessel for MSC will be the largest ever built (until her sisters hit the water, anyway), breaking the 400x60 m envelope, being the first ship with 24 container rows.

She was recently launched at Samsung shipyard on Geoje Island, and her first sister from Daewoo shipyard is due for launching next month, and there will also be some ships of this series from China...

I'll get her IMO number eventually.

Daewoo and Samsung ships should be of the same size, even as there may be some minor design differences.

I have uploaded the photo of her first "cousin" from Daewoo:

Unlike Samsung ships, Daewoo ones are always launched with their superstructures.

Vlad

Thank you for your reply.
Is the Daewoo's ship larger than Samsung's ship?

23,000 teu is the number usually connected with this series, but expect an update once they will be close to delivery...

Cheers

Vlad

Is this ship 23,500 teu?

I quote Captain Ted :
NOW!!!,,,if we could get rid of the sailors,,how safe shipping would be !!!!!!!!

Not yet, but we'll get there soon enough, IMHO... :)

Cheers

Vlad

1st bridge-less autonomous ship. What a monster!

Do you need full crane coverage at every port? Not with proper stowage planning.
Or even at any ports if the ship can berth either port or starboard to quay at different ports?

Thank you for your comment, my dear friend Volker. I'd say it's a gamble; the owners are building ultra large vessels expecting the ports to catch up.

But, as you said, it has to end one day...

Cheers

Vlad

Hello Vlad my dear friend.Interesting shot. But...where should the ports for these giants come from!? Eventually it is over!! Cheers,Volker.

Thanks Vlad and Roy

Thanks for your comments.

She is 24x40' bays vessel, so she's still 400 m in length, but she is one row wider, therefore 61 m wide.

Cheers

Vlad

Now we're talking Vlad (so to speak).
Great picture!!
Frans as far as I know she will still be 400m in length i.e. 24 40ft bays long (hard to count on this picture), but as Vlad mentioned 24 boxes wide for the first time.
Cheers,
Roy

Is het length still 400 meters? because rumours are that MSC was building one off 420 meter.

Nice photo, Vlad!

Please share any details of this type upon available.

Thanks a lot for this first impression of how these new Megamaxes will look like! As MSC Gulsun is the first in series (Samsung 2248), her IMO is 9839430.

2249 IMO 9839442
2250 IMO 9839454
2251 IMO 9839466
2252 IMO 9839478
2253 IMO 9839480

I can't wait to see first pics of her sister from Daewoo...

Best wishes from Germany!
