MOL enhances CSW service with new ships

Along with the fleet expansion, MOL will begin chartering space to a consortium including NYK Line, “K” Line, Hyundai Merchant Marine and Pacific International Line (PIL).

The newbuildings will adopt a new wide-beam and shallow-draft design, featuring high loading capacity and compatibility with shallow-draft ports in South America, as well as superior fuel efficiency.

To be built at the Hyundai Samho Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (South Korea) shipyard, the new containerships will have a length of 275.1 metres; breadth of 40 m and a draft of 14 m. They will have a capacity of 71,407 tonnes.
