Thank you for your comments and useful information. I know all of you have interests this ship. Please wait my next visit to Saijo.

Thanks all - I agree that it doesn't make much sense as presented. Following are my transcription errors (I hate working on a lap-top)

Last two Saijo are my error (just duplicates)
Last two Marugame should read 1876, 1877

So for numbers, that's 11 for Evergreen. Maybe some extra options for MOL. So possibly IHS have garbled it a bit. Now awaiting launch and MS3866's yard visit.

David, that list from IHS doesn't make much sense. MOL's first ship is due 9/2017, which would tie in with the build stage in the photo above.

Nice catch showing the first 20,000TEU boxship from Japan.
Look forward to seeing more once she in launched.

Hi David,
Your list of ships confuses me a little.
I have 2x 20000teu for MOL from Imabari and 11x 20000teu for Evergreen from Imabari.
You have a total of 18 ships!??
Cheers,
Roy

Is that definite, Phil?

Good catch, thanks for sharing. Imabari Saijo shipyard is not really "ship spotter friendly", but Marugame should be a different story... :)

Thanks "ms3866",
Great to see a picture of the first 20000teu vessel built in Japan.
Cheers,
Roy

Hello finn321, I only have a few photos. Later I will upload them.

Hello davidships, thank you for telling me both numbers. Some imformation sources that I get showed different numbers one another. After her launching, I will visit there to confirm the numbers and her name.

The Saijo one for MOL listed as Yd 8191, IMO 9811012

Very nice! Do you have more photos of this new vessel?
