The speed of construction is just mind boggling!!!! Thanks for documenting the birth of these Triple Es Vlad!!!

Thanks, Andrew.

Yes, the next 18k TEU vessels to be built by DSME will be from MSC...

Super catch Vlad,

I guess the MSC's being built after these will be the trio of 18,400TEu ordered last year?

Thank again for the update Vlad!

Yes indeed, two months and 6 days to complete part 1 of this giant jigsaw is quite close to insane :-) ... Maybe they will do no. 20 in record time. Nice learning curve for DSME as they are now at exactly the same construction speed as Hyundai...

Actually, it is more than "insane". Because it has not been couple of years, but only 15 months. Given that the first vessel took longer to build, this tempo is consistent with 2 months per vessel per building dock (DSME has 2 "mega" building docks).
And they will keep on going like this, with MSC ships taking over when they finish the Triple E's...

Already 13 ships are floating in just a couple of years? Insane temps!

Thanks, Marlon! Launching of new Triple E's is but a routine thing now, but I'm still happy when I get to witness it.

Another great shot of these huge vessels. Many thanks for posting. Keep up the good work, Marlon
