During the call at the HHLA Container Terminal Burchard Quay in Hamburg after its arrival from Felixstowe on June 19, 2017, the "Thalassa Tyhi" suffered damage during movements of a gantry crane in the run of the cargo operations which had commenced on June 20. The smokestack was hit, and on May 22 at 2.30 p.m. the vessel was towed by four Kotug-tugs without engine to the Athabaska Quay for repairs with the assistance of a large crane. The ship left Hamburg on July 1 at 6.30 p.m. Next port of call was Rotterdam, ETA July 2, 4.30 p.m.

TAIWAN'S Evergreen shipping line has taken delivery of the 13,808-TEU THALASSA TYHI from owner Enesel SA, a Greek company piloted by London-based NS Lemos & Co. The vessel is the eighth ship in a series of ten neo-postpanamaxes ordered by Enesel in July 2012 from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), with the backing of 10-year charters to Evergreen. The THALASSA TYHI has an overall length of 368 metres and a beam of 51 metres allowing 20 container rows on deck, reports Alphaliner. Enesel concluded the order for US$116.5 million per ship, a fairly low price compared to the $160 million to $170 million paid by other owners at the peak of the market in 2008. After a bunkering trip to Russia, the Thalassa Tyhi will join Evergreen's Far East to Europe service CEM. The loop is part of the CKYHE alliance offer but branded NE 5 by the old CKYH partners. This service will be fully upgraded from the 8,500-TEU class to 13,800-TEU ships by October. The new vessel follows the THALASSA MANA , which was handed over in July. The two remaining ships of the series will be delivered in the next two months. Source : Asian Shipper
