Taiwan’s Evergreen has a record-breaker on its hands.
The line has taken delivery of what it says is the world’s biggest container ship.
The Ever Alot was handed over by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding in China this month.
Databases list the vessel as 23,888 teu, but the shipbuilder said when it was floated out last year that the actual nominal capacity has now broken the 24,000-teu barrier for the first time, at 24,004 teu.
