Maersk Honam Section on Its Way to South Korea

The sound part of the Maersk Honam, which was hit by a serious fire in March 2018, is now on its way to South Korea, where it will be rebuilt.
The containership’s 228.5-metres-long section from midship to stern section was loaded aboard the heavy-lift vessel Xin Guan Hua on open waters outside Dubai on February 2.
Currently in transit, the vessel is expected to pass Singapore Strait on February 18, 2019.
The heavy-lift unit is scheduled to deliver the section at Hyundai Heavy Industries’ shipyard in South Korea in March, the same yard that built the ship in 2017. Once there, the sound section of Maersk Honam will be joined with a newbuild forward section.
Maersk informed that the former forward section is moored at Drydock World Dubai for continued removal of damaged containers and debris.
The company added that, once cleaned, the damaged section would be recycled in accordance with Maersk’s Responsible Ship Recycling Standard (RSRS). The company is investigating and evaluating relevant recycling options.
The rebuilt vessel is expected to resume service again in the second half of 2019.
 
Maersk Honam在2018年3月遭遇嚴重火災,完善的部分現在正在前往韓國重建。
2月2日,集裝箱船從船中段到船尾段的228.5米長的部分裝在杜拜外的水域的重型船新關華號上。
目前該船在運輸途中預計於2019年2月18日通過新加坡海峽。
該拖船計劃於3月在韓國交割現代重工的造船廠,該區域於2017年建造該船。在那裡,Maersk Honam的完善部分將與新建的前方部分相連。
馬士基通知說,前端部分停泊在Drydock World Dubai,以便繼續清除受損的集裝箱和碎片。
該公司補充說,一旦清潔,受損部分將按照馬士基的責任船舶回收標準(RSRS)進行回收。該公司正在調查和評估相關的回收選項。
預計重建的船舶將在2019年下半年再次恢復服務。
