Hyundai gets biggest containership

 
   The liner carrier Hyundai Merchant Marine has received the largest containership in its history, the first of five vessels larger than 13,000 TEUs.
   The Hyundai Together is 13,100 TEUs and will be deployed in the Asia-Europe. The ship is also the largest vessel operated by any members of the newly formed G6 Alliance, which is due to start operations on the Asia-Europe trade in March. Other G6 members include APL, Hapag-Lloyd, MOL, NYK Line, and OOCL.
   The ship was ordered in 2007 by Greek shipowner Danaos Shipping, but its delivery was delayed due to the economic crisis, according to the maritime analyst Alphaliner. The ship has been charted to Hyundai on a 12-year charter.
