Following the incident, which claimed the lives of five seafarers, the vessel was moved alongside for thorough inspections and discharge operations in the Jebel Ali Port (UAE) in June 2018.
According to a Maersk spokesperson, the containership has now been cut into two parts at the Drydock World Dubai (UAE).
The sound, 228.5-metres-long section from midship to stern will be transported aboard the heavy-lift vessel Xin Guan Hua to Hyundai Heavy Industries, where it would be rebuilt, in February. The section is scheduled to arrive at the shipyard in March 2019, where it would be rebuilt with a new forward section.
Maersk added that the former forward section would be safely moored at Drydock World Dubai for continued removal of damaged containers and debris.
“Once cleaned, it will be recycled. In accordance with our Responsible Ship Recycling Standard (RSRS), relevant recycling options are currently being investigated and evaluated,” the spokesperson said.
The rebuilt vessel is expected to resume service again in the second half of 2019.
超大型集裝箱船Maersk Honam 於2018年3月遭遇重大火災，被削為兩艘，將被運往韓國進行重建。
事件發生後，這艘船奪走了五名海員的生命，該船於2018年6月在Jebel ALi港（阿聯酋）進行徹底檢查和卸貨作業。
根據馬士基發言人的說法，該集裝箱船現在已經在杜拜（阿聯酋）被分成兩部分。
從中船到船尾的228.5米長的將在2月份被重型船舶新關華運到Hyundai重工業，並在那裡重建。該部分計劃於2019年3月抵達造船廠，並在那裡重建一個新的前段。
馬士基補充說，先前前段部分將安全停泊在Drydock World Dubai，以便繼續拆除受損的集裝箱和碎片。
“一旦都完成之後，它將被回收。根據我們的責任船舶回收標準（RSRS），目前正在調查和評估相關的回收選項，“發言人說。
預計重建的船舶將在2019年下半年再次回到服務崗位。
