"Monaco Maersk" sets a mark
The “Monaco Maersk” marked a new peak as the best loaded containership record with 19,284 teu on board when it departed Malaysia’s port of Tanjung Pelepas at the beginning of June 2019. These volumes on the “Monaco Maersk” eclipsed the 19,190 teu on the “MOL Tribune” in February 2019.
While the largest containerships now have a nominal capacity in the 21,000 to 22,000 teu range, the maximum loaded capacity is often significantly less. The second generation Triple E vessel “Monaco Maersk” has a nominal capacity of 20,568 teu.
The vessel is part of the 2M Alliance’s AE5/Albatross service and took the route from the port of Tanjung Pelepas to the port of Rotterdam (the Netherlands) via the Suez Canal. (kd)
