MOL and Coscon take deliveries of newbuildings

MITSUI-OSK Lines (MOL) has taken delivery of the MOL Maxim, one of ten 6,724-TEU ships ordered from Mitsubishi in two stages in October 2006 and October 2007.

The MOL Maxim is the fifth ship to be built in the series since March 2009, after the MOL Maestro, MOL Magnificence, MOL Matrix and the MOL Majesty.

The MOL Maxim is destined to join the New World Alliance Asia-Europe JEX loop, which calls at ports in Japan and North Europe.

In a separate development, Cosco Container Lines has taken delivery of the Tianjin He, the eighth of twelve 5,100-TEU container ships ordered from Jiangnan Changxing in two phases in April 2006 and February 2007.

The newbuilding has joined the China-Australia joint service operated by Cosco and PIL (CAS), with Gold Star Line, NYK, MOL and "K" Line taking slots on the service, reports Alphaliner.
