Majestic-Maersk

AP Moller-Maersk has taken delivery of the 18,270-TEU Triple E-class vessel, the Majestic Maersk, built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in South Korea. A report by Alphaliner said the Majestic Maersk made her maiden voyage on the Asia-Europe AE-10 service on August 12 at Busan in South Korea. She replaces the 13,092-TEU Elba Maersk and sets in motion a round of cascades as the Elba Maersk joins the AE-2 loop, replacing the 8,400-TEU Maersk Tukang, which is due to join Maersk's Far East-US East Coast TP-7 service via Suez in September.

Maersk Line confirmed that it will send its 18,270 teu vessel MAJESTIC MAERSK to Copenhagen for a yet not specified 'event'. The second unit of the carrier's 399m triple E-class ships is scheduled to dock at Copenhagen's famous inner-city 'Langelinie' pier from 23 to 29 September. As speculated earlier on linervision, the ship is most likely to be christened at Copenhagen, her port of registry, by the Queen of Denmark Margrethe II. Ship lovers and maritime sightseers from Denmark are thus advised to mark the days in their calendars! Source : Linervision
