Shipping News and information / Re: New Maersk v/l at Odense

The accomodation will probably be reused. The structure itself does not look too damaged.

Only one propeller. The reason? to cut maintenance, weight and expences.

I am not qualified for giving any long lecture on why. But you can be sure of that APM got its reasons to chose a single engine/prop instead of a twin screw.

The engine casing seems to be damaged too.
This must delay her for sevaral month. Guess next delivery from the yard is going to bee the L-204   :-(

Had really been looking forward to see her leave.

It will be impossible to get any of those plans. The plans are  except from a very limited exceptions not given to anyone outside the company.

I believe that no one can help you out with this one without breaking the law.  

Sorry can't help you on this one.

Shipping News and information / Re: Propeller for 10.000 TEU Maersk-newbuilding ?

The L203 is expected to leave the yard somewhere around the 4-10 of july. I will make a post if and when I can get more exact information.

Regarding speed:

I do find 25+ realistic since loa is expected to be about 399 meters, however she is more than 55 meters abeam so that talks agains it, but block coefficent could be low. Looks like she got "slimm" lines.  

I took a foto of her last night. See it in the "Shipsfotos" search name "13000+ TEU?"
