en.Wedoany.com Reported - Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has delivered the "Ever Emit" container ship to Evergreen Marine, the fifth in a series of 16 dual-fuel vessels ordered by Evergreen that can operate on methanol and conventional fuel.

The series of vessels was ordered by Evergreen Marine in mid-2023, with each ship costing approximately $195 million. The new vessel has a capacity of 16,556 TEU, a total length of 369 meters, and a beam of 53.6 meters, equivalent to 21 rows of containers, with a deadweight tonnage of 184,268 dwt and a maximum draft of 17.5 meters.

The "Ever Emit" is equipped with a MAN B&W 9G95ME-C10.5-LGIM-TIII main engine with an output of 43,200 kW, achieving a service speed of up to 22 knots. The vessel also features five auxiliary generators capable of providing up to 20,360 kW of power, sufficient to supply approximately 1,200 reefer containers, although the exact number of reefer plugs has not been disclosed.

The ship's design includes a large wind deflector on the forecastle deck, an increasingly common aerodynamic solution on next-generation container ships aimed at reducing sailing resistance, which can achieve fuel savings of up to 2%.

Upon delivery, the "Ever Emit" will operate on the Ocean Alliance's 'NEU7' route, commercially designated by Evergreen Marine as 'CES'. This route utilizes a mixed fleet of vessels ranging from 12,000 to 20,000 TEU, including the five newly delivered "E" class vessels and four Megamax-class container ships.
