MSC to receive 14,000-TEU Savona on charter hire

Mediterrean Shipping Company (MSC) is preparing to take in the MSC Savona, the sixth containership to be built as part of a 26-vessel programme, with ships ranging in size from 13,798-14,000-TEU that are to be delivered by Samsung and DSME.
The 14,000-TEU MSC Savona is the third of the DSME vessels and is built to a design quite similar to that of the Samsung ships.
The MSC Savona is chartered from German shipowner, Mr Claus Peter Offen, and follows the MSC-owned MSC Camille in the DSME series, it said.
The MSC Savona is expected to be deployed in the Asia-North Europe Silk Service, replacing the 9,200-TEU MSC Lisbon, which is the smallest of the 11 ships used to run the service that uses ships with a capacity of up to 14,000-TEU.
The MSC Lisbon will reportedly be instead deployed on the carrier’s Asia-North Europe Lion Service. (source Eximin)
