The first vessel with four Liebherr CBW 2100 cranes adapted for very cold temperatures has been supplied to Sovcomflot. Another 56 cranes will be fitted to 14 ships being built by Daewoo for Dynagas, Teekay and MOL up to 2019

Cargoshell BV has been awarded a CSC certificate from Germanischer Lloyd for its composite panel reefer container.

Cargoshell BV has announced a reefer container design using its composite container concept. Cargoshell had previously introduced a folding container and a standard dry container design using composite material. In 2012, its non-folding container design received CSC certification from Germanischer Lloyd in Hamburg.

It seems that not a month passes without a new and larger containership being delivered. In December, msc oscar – built by South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering group – officially became the largest containership in the world, with a nominated loading capacity of 19,224 TEU.

Just as 19,200 TEU vessels come on stream, there is already talk that 24,000 TEU ships could be possible. Ultra-large containerships (ULCS) – defined as ships in the 10,000 TEU-plus range – are fast becoming the norm in mainhaul trades. Economy of scale is the dominant factor and slot costs are reduced even further by slow and super slow steaming speeds, ranging between 14 and 19 knots.

Monaco-based Scorpio Group has ordered three 19,200 TEU container vessels, the biggest containerships to date, for bareboat charter to Mediterranean Shipping Co
