Maersk questions
« on: November 17, 2017, 09:38:23 PM »
Good evening Gents,

I have three questions;

1) Can someone supply me with the Keel Laid/Launch and Delivery dates of the Benalder/Benarty and Benavon.

2) Since 2011 Maersk is rebuilding 5 classes of their container fleet.
   Can someone supply with the years of rebuilding of these vessels.
   Not all vessels are done yet but all info is welcome.
   I already know the A.P. M

Hi Leon,

Benalder was delivered 10/1972, Benavon 01/1973 and Benarty (City of Edinburgh) 11/1973.

The A-class did not had a Bridge elevation, A.P.Moller is not an A-class but a S/C-class vessel.

It all started in 2011, as you mentioned. I don't have all the dates for all the specific vessels but besides the classes you have mentioned also the Singapore flag A-class (different from the Danish Odense built A-class) i.e Alfirk, Algol, Altair and Antares had Bridge elevation and the Singapore /Hong Kong flag L-class had a bridge elevation. In this class the last eight were delivered with elevated bridge and the first eight (La Paz, Laguna, Lavras, Lebu, Leticia, Lima, Lirquen and Luz) were elevated at a later date (first 5-year drydock).
Also the ex-Dutch flagged S-class, i.e. Stepnica, Salalah, Salinah, Savannah and Stockholm did had a bridge elevation during their first 5-yearly drydock.

The G-class you mentioned exists of the original 6 g-class vessels and 6 m-class vessels which were renamed with g-names when the triple-e's were delivered.

I'm unaware of any website having all the rebuilding/modification dates readily available but they all have been done at a scheduled 5-yearly drydock.

Cheers,
Roy

Hi Roy,

Thank you very much for all this info.
I was really unaware of all the other classes although I suspected the L class also.
Yes I know about the G class and according to pics on here the Gunhilde didn't have the elevation yet.
It's a lot off searching again but fun to do.

Best regards

Leon
