Yang Ming integrates new 11,000 TEU vessel for connection between Asia and the east coast of South America

Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. will add a new 11,000 TEU container ship, the YM Trust, to its connection between the Far East and the east coast of South America.

The vessel, chartered by Shoei Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. and built by Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., was baptized at a ceremony held at the Imabari Hiroshima shipyard.

To strengthen its medium- and long-term operational efficiency, the company has ordered a total of 14 new 11,000 TEU vessels through long-term charter contracts with shipowners.

The YM Trust is the eighth in the series and will be delivered on November 10th. This type of vessel has a nominal capacity of 11,860 TEU and is equipped with 1,000 connections for refrigerated containers.

With a length of 333.9 meters, a width of 48.4 meters, and a draft of 16 meters, these ships are designed to navigate at speeds of up to 23 knots.

Container ships incorporate several environmental features, including scrubbers, water ballast treatment plant,s and alternative marine energy systems.

Yang Ming began receiving these new vessels in 2020. These eight new vessels will reduce the average age of its global fleet, lower the unit cost, and save energy.

YM Trust will join Yang Ming’s Far East and South America SA3 service after delivery. SA3’s port rotation is Shanghai – Ningbo – Yantian – Hong Kong – Singapore – Rio de Janeiro – Santos – Paranaguá – Navegantes – Montevideo – Buenos Aires – Rio Grande – Navegantes – Paranaguá – Santos – Singapore – Hong Kong – Shanghai.
