UAE- UASC announces record breaking load on board M.V. Al Muraykh
DUBAI 16th December 2015 (WAM) -- United Arab Shipping Company UASC today announced a record breaking load of 18601 TEUs on board the M.V. Al Muraykh one of the world's three greenest vessels currently operated by UASC.
The ultra-large container vessel departed Port Klang in Malaysia bound for Felixstowe UK as part of AEC1 service carrying 18601 TEUs. The vessel will be sailing for two weeks. This unprecedented westbound shipment is also UASC's highest utilisation to date of this very eco-efficient class meaning the CO2 output per TEU on this journey is set to be more than 60% lower if the same containers were shipped on board a 13500 TEU ship.
Containers on board were loaded by UASC and its partners in the Ocean Three alliance. M.V. Al Muraykh was delivered in August 2015. The vessel was similarly celebrated across different Asian and European ports while on its maiden voyage earlier this year.
