But can carry more container in height behind the bridge and ahead of the bridge too,, vision angle is better

I don't understand the reasoning behind this design. Surely the accommodation does not have to be moved forward for a containership of this size? Only the 100k ton + ships seem to follow this design.

Just a good shot Ron, I like them to look a bit worn-out, it shows her as a work horse

@ Captain Ted - Hi, in order to get 7.5 years they have to stop the ship at 5 years and blank the inlets/outlets for valve inspection. But I take your point, the docking regime is a far cry from what it was.

Paintwork and such is the last thing which is considered nowadays. What wonders me,,, years back,,you got notifications in the papers when for example 2-3 sea valves were not overhauled or replaced during 2 year DD,, now this very same valves can stay 5 years and with exemptions 7.5 years,,, like a friend mentioned to me,,one wonders who made vacation on the Hawaiian Beaches on whom accounts to change regs like that.

Noting that ship built 2009, I guess she's docking this year.

The regulation requires 2 dry-dockings in 5 years, max. 36 months between them. However most ships of this type will have an In-Water Survey notation, enabling them to do one of these dry-docking surveys ‘in water’, using divers, CCTV and communications. Hence the norm is 1 dry docking in 5 years.
Additionally there is a system known as Extended Drydockings, enabling the ship to be dry-docked only once in a 7.5 year period (with in water surveys at 2.5 and 5 years). This is fairly popular but there are some practical limitations as to how long a ship can be away from dry-dock, not least paintwork and maintenance.

Kind of empty huh ?

ships go only every 5=6 years to DD,,those days of every two years are over,,,surprisingly that,s today all possible
also when on the construction/vavles etc nothing changed
