HMM, formerly Hyundai Merchant Marine, is scaling up after it has become a formal member on The Alliance and will add 12 vessels in 24,000-TEU vessels to its fleet by August.
HMM is scheduled to unveil Algeciras, a 24,000 TEU containership built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, for the first time at Busan New Port on April 28. Algeciras, the biggest box ship in the world, will set sail for Ningbo, China, the following day.
The carrier will take delivery of all 12 units of 24,000-TEU container carriers by August, adding up 288,000 TEU to its current total cargo handling capacity of 450,000 TEU. The full deployment of the vessels is expected to make the company the world's eighth largest container carrier, Seoul's Pulse news agency reported.
The 12 ships will be exclusively operating in The Alliance's newly revised Asia-North Europe route FE4. HMM began servicing as a full member of The Alliance from the beginning of this month.
