Lady Bond accompanied by her husband, Sir John Bond, Chairman of Vodafone Group Plc, honoured A.P. Moller - Maersk and the Yard by naming the newbuilding EUGEN M'RSK.
Like her seven predecessors, EUGEN M'RSK will be part of the series of the world's largest container vessels, and she will like her sister vessels set new standards for safety and environment. Environmentally friendly silicone paint covers the hull of the vessel below the waterline ' reducing water resistance and cutting the vessel's fuel consumption by 1,200 tonnes per year.
With her 14-cylinder W'rtsil' RT-flex diesel engine which develops 110,000 BHP, EUGEN M'RSK will after delivery enter Maersk Line's worldwide service and thereby together with the other vessels contribute to a global, competitive and flexible transport for the Company's customers.
EUGEN M'RSK will be registered in Randers and will be commanded by S'ren Filip Hoppe with Steen Viig as Chief Engineer.
