The optimisation of the ship hull form and scrubber installation is also expected to boost the energy saving and decrease the overall emissions.

Additionally, the design of the ship has a shorter length and beam, which makes it easier to manoeuvre during departure or berthing.

With the new dimensions, the ships can call at major ports and pass via the new Panama Canal.

The 14 vessels will be delivered by the third quarter of 2022. The company will also add an additional ten 2,800 TEU self-owned newly built ships by the second quarter of next year.

YM Triumph will be a part of THE Alliance’s trans-Pacific service PN2.

In May last year, Yang Ming established a subsidiary in Jakarta, Indonesia, to boost the regional services and meet the growing demands of the shipping market.
