Norwegian ship proprietor Ocean Yield has actually taken shipment of the MSC Eloane, a 19,500 TEU megaship constructed by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea.

The vessel has actually started a 15-year bareboat charter with a “major European container line,” that if we were to presume is MSC.

The Eloane is the 3rd vessel to be supplied in a collection of 6 huge containerships that Ocean Yield possesses with a joint endeavor with Quantum Pacific Shipping, a huge exclusive ship proprietor. Ocean Yield bought its 49.5% risk in the joint endeavor last June for around $162 million.

The arrival of the MSC Eloane comes as the container delivery sector has problem with serious overcapacity, which some claim results from the arrival of a growing number of of these ultra-large ships.
