Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. (Yang Ming) has added one new 11,000 TEU container vessel, ‘YM Trillion’. The vessel is chartered from Shoei Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. and built by Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. YM Trillion was named and delivered to Yang Ming at a ceremony held at Imabari Marugame Shipyard today (21st). Yang Ming’s attendees joined the event remotely at their Taipei office. Mr David Yen, Chairman of T3EX Global Holdings Corp., was invited to name the vessel officially, and Ms Alice Yen, daughter of Chairman of T3EX Global Holdings Corp., had the honour to perform the ceremonial cord-cutting to wish the ship and its crew the best of luck on their future voyages.
To further strengthen Yang Ming’s mid-to-long-term operational efficiency, the Company ordered a total of fourteen 11,000 TEU newbuildings through long-term charter agreements with ship owners. With the delivery of YM Trillion, all fourteen 11,000 TEU ships have joined Yang Ming’s fleet. These newbuildings will lower the average age of Yang Ming’s global fleet and enhance vessel deployment. In addition, with environmental features, these eco-friendly ships will accelerate fleet optimization, reduce unit costs and offer greater transportation service.
This series of vessels has a nominal capacity of 11,860 TEU and is equipped with 1,000 plugs for reefer containers. With a length of 333.9 meters, a width of 48.4 meters, and a draft of 16 meters, these vessels are designed for cruising at a speed of up to 23 knots. In addition, the containerships incorporate various environmental features, including scrubbers, Water Ballast Treatment plants and Alternative Marine Power systems.
This vessel adopts the twin-island design to increase loading capacity and navigational visibility to ensure more efficiency and safety. The ship hull form optimization will increase energy saving and reduce overall emissions. In addition, the ships are designed with shorter lengths and beams, making it easier to manoeuvre during berthing or departure. The optimal dimensions can enable these ships to call at major ports worldwide, pass through the new Panama Canal with no restriction, and facilitate greater flexibility in vessel deployment.
YM Trillion has been deployed on Yang Ming’s Trans-Pacific service PN3, which will meet customer needs and maximize capacity utilization. It is expected that the vessel will further strengthen the competitiveness of Yang Ming’s global fleet and service network.
The port rotation of PN3 is:
Hong Kong – Yantian – Shanghai – Pusan – Vancouver – Tacoma – Pusan – Kaohsiung – Hong Kong
