Hamburg Sud naming two 3,752-TEU vessels
Germany's Hamburg Sud will Thursday christen the first two of six 3,752-TEU boxships ordered by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. Ltd.
The ceremony for the 'Bahia' and 'Bahia Blanca' will take place at Daewoo's Okpo yard in Korea.
Hamburg Sud said both ships would shortly be phased into its liner services between Asia and the East Coast of South America.
The dimensions of the 50,800-deadweight-ton vessels are 254 meters (833 feet) long and 32.2 meters (106 feet) wide, with a maximum draft of 12.4 meters (40.7 feet). Each ship has 610 reefer container plugs and a speed of 21.5 knots.
