The 3,055 TEU series is reportedly designed with energy efficiency and environmental friendliness in mind. These two series are outfitted with complete balanced twisted bulb rudders and pre-swirl fins, and all ships supplied are “Smart Ship” certified.
These new vessels are part of Wan Hai Lines’ attempts to upgrade its fleet in order to offer clients with an improved service.
In addition to naming the new structures, Wan Hai Lines donated needs to two Japanese organisations, Jiaien Child Home and Kumamoto Tenshien.
Three months later, Wan Hai hosted a combined ship naming ceremony for WAN HAI A05 and WAN HAI A06 at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Ulsan Shipyard.
