[BITList] Maersk Line Triple-E

[Michael Feltham]

Attended a talk this evening about Maersk Line and the new buildings.  It was given by a guy whose official title was GB Cluster Process Excellence Manager !

He was a desk wallah from P & O/Nedlloyd.  Their ships are on reduced speed of about 16-18 knots.  In reply to a question he said that their ships have been given permission to open upto 25 knots when in the pirated waters of the Indian Ocean.

The new ships will be twin screw and so smaller and therefore more space for the Boxes.
