Hamburg Sud has christened the ‘Rio Negro’ at the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering yard in Okpo, Korea.
The 286-metre vessel is the third newbuilding in a series of six identical container vessels, each with a slot capacity of 5,900 TEU. The ‘Rio Negro’ is named after a tributary of the Amazon which rises in Columbia and then flows into the Amazon in Brazil. Following delivery on 4 November, the ‘Rio Negro’ will initially be deployed in Hamburg Sud's New Good Hope Express Service, which connects Asia and South Africa with South America East Coast. The vessel is then scheduled to be phased into the shipping group's Europe to South America East Coast Service in March 2009.
