MSC adds third of five 13,050-TEUers to Far East-north Europe Lion service


GENEVA's Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has received the third in a series of five ships ordered in October 2007 from the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in Korea to be chartered on its Far East-north Europe Lion service along with MSC Trieste delivered December 2011.

The renamed 13,050-TEU MSC Ariane charter is backed by Hamburg-based shipowner Reederei Claus Peter Offen and is to be joined by two remaining vessels in the coming four months to replace 8,400-9,200 TEU on this service.
