The 334-metre-long containerships feature optimised hull design which reduces wave resistance, decreasing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; and a facility to remove both sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide exhaust gases.

Evergreen has also introduced the Smart Ship System into the design of the F-type ships which can provide a full range of information for both the crew and the supervising team ashore, helping to monitor the ship's operational condition. This, says Evergreen, assists the crew to conduct safe and timely navigation and maintain trim optimisation in accordance with changing weather and sea conditions. The ultimate aims are to reduce fuel consumption, optimise navigational routings and contribute to Evergreen's green initiatives.

As reported, last month, Evergreen Line announced the delivery of its fifth new, 12,000 TEU class F-type containership, Ever Fortune. The company has another 53 newbuildings to be delivered, including vessels owned by the carrier and ships chartered in. This order book contains ten A-type ships of 24,000 TEU, thirteen F-type ships of 12,000 TEU, fourteen O-type ships of 2,500 TEU and sixteen C-type ships of 1,800 TEU, all to be delivered by the end of 2022, reports UK's Bunkerspot.
