9/1/2012 9:52:11 AM

Yang Ming has taken delivery of the YM Ubiquity, the second of five 8,240-TEU vessels, which were ordered in August 2007 from the China Shipbuilding Corp. (CSBC-Taiwan) and were initially due for delivery in 2011, but were subsequently delayed by 13-15 months due to the financial crisis. The YM Ubiquity follows the YM Uniformity, delivered in June, and is assigned to the Asia-Europe CKYH Loop 2 (NE2), replacing the 8,236-TEU YM Uniform, which has been shifted to the CKYH Loop 4 (NE4) to fill a gap. Another ship, the 6,588-TEU YM Mobility, will leave the CKYH Loop 4 (NE4) as part of a capacity management programme, and will join MSC, which chartered the vessel until the next peak season, according to Alphaliner. A previous series of five similar ships were delivered by CSBC to Yang Ming in 2008-2009. All Oceans Transportation Inc., the ship owning arm of Yang Ming Transport Corporation, owns all the ships.   Asian Shipper News
