Safmarine Chachai, a new 4500 teu, Safmarine-branded WAFMAX containership, was delivered to Safmarine on Monday 21 May, 2012.
The Safmarine Chachai – which features Safmarine’s distinctive bright white hull – joins her sister-ships, the Safmarine Chilka and Safmarine Chambal, in the A.P Moller-Maersk fleet.
“Not only has this modern new vessel been purpose-built for the growing trade with Africa, but it is yet another example of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group’s commitment to investing in modern, more environmentally-friendly vessels and in growing and strengthening the Safmarine brand,” said Safmarine CEO, Grant Daly .
The Safmarine Chachai and her sister ships were built by Hyundai Heavy Industries and are fitted with super long-stroke main engines and a waste heat recovery system to reduce emissions and save fuel.
