Built by HDW, If you are talking containerships, you are most probably aware of the fact that HDW has always been the birthplace of innovative vessels, setting standards for the rest of the world. Take, for example, 1972-we built our first full containership, the 30-knot Tokyo Bay, for OCL. In 1983 we masterminded the Ship of the Future research project. In 1988 we opened new horizons with the three giant 3.800 TEU Post-Panmax vessels for APL. In 1993, the world's first Open Top Containership left our yard, generating five new orders from her satisfied owners. In 1995 the world's first 4.800 TEU vessels will be handed over to their owners. And at present, we are holding negotiations for a series of 6.000 TEU vessels. Looking ahead into the next century: The 8.000 TEU vessel and new port infrastructures are rapidly becoming reality in our research labs and on our drawing boards. Interested to hear more?
