Hamburg Sud has held a naming ceremony for the 7,100-TEU newbuilding, the Santa Isabel, in Singapore as part of a customer event. She is the second ship in a series of 10 identical box ships.
These vessels will be the largest built so far for the carrier, and each is fitted with 1,600 reefer plugs.
Built at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering shipyard in South Korea, the company took delivery of the vessel at the end of last year. She has since been deployed on the ocean liner's service between Asia and South Africa/South America east coast (New Good Hope Express), according to the Shipping Gazette.
