Chinese shipbuilder Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding has delivered the <\/p>\n

24,116 TEU MSC Tessa, the world\u2019s largest containership.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"World\u2019s<\/p>\n

The delivery takes place as part of a four-vessel deal with Mediterranean <\/p>\n

Shipping Company (MSC), worth around $600 million.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MSC Tessa is one of only a handful of ships to surpass the 24,000 TEU mark <\/p>\n

and is classed by DNV classification society.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the shipyard, vessels in the same class measure 1,312 feet in <\/p>\n

length, making them almost 200 feet longer than a typical aircraft carrier, with <\/p>\n

a beam of nearly 202 feet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While the loading configuration varies slightly between different <\/p>\n

shipyards, all the vessels can stack containers up to 25 layers high.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The MSC Tessa uses air lubrication, reducing its energy consumption and <\/p>\n

carbon emissions by between 3 per cent and 4 per cent. It is also fitted with a <\/p>\n

hybrid scrubber, a small bulbous bow, large diameter propellers and <\/p>\n

energy-saving ducts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The giant vessel will be calling at Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Felixstowe in <\/p>\n

Northern Europe, with a call at Tanger during the return trip, before proceeding <\/p>\n

to Singapore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding Group reported that the second ship on order <\/p>\n

from the series has completed sea trials and that the third and fourth <\/p>\n

containerships are also under construction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Swiss-based container shipping giant has the largest order book in the <\/p>\n

industry with around 131 containerships on order, according to Alphaliner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The ships are scheduled for delivery in 2023, with orders spread between <\/p>\n

Chinese and South Korean shipbuilding majors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Upon completion, the 14 new Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) ordered <\/p>\n

by MSC will constitute one-third of the company\u2019s current fleet, with a combined <\/p>\n

capacity of 1.7 million TEU.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although the current ships run on conventional fuel, MSC is venturing into <\/p>\n

the use of more sustainable options, such as biofuels and LNG dual-fuel vessels. <\/p>\n

The company has already conducted tests with biofuels and plans to increase its <\/p>\n

usage in the near future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additionally, MSC has recently ordered its first ammonia-ready designs, <\/p>\n

which are being built in China.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
