Denominate "Hanjin Amburgo" e "Hanjin New York", sono la seconda e la terza di una serie di cinque navi da
8, 600 TEU consegnate alla compagnia sudcoreana Hanjin Shipping da Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries. Queste navi sono equipaggiate con un motore “ecologico” capace di ridurre il consumo di carburante e le emissioni di CO2.
Secondo quanto affermato da Hanjin Shipping, le navi verranno inserite nel servizio PSX (Pacific South Express) a partire dalla fine di gennaio.
W.W. Lee, Deputy President and Chief Executive of Container Business Unit at Hanjin Shipping commented, “We are confident that the deployment of these large, state-of-the-art vessels will improve schedule reliability and enhance our customer service.” He added, “We are now in the process of establishing an optimum fleet portfolio by investing in various sizes of containerships ranging from 4,000TEU to 10,000TEU. We will certainly continue with these efforts to strengthen our presence as the world’s leading shipping carrier.”
Meanwhile, the rest of the series are scheduled to be delivered during this year.
