The type OMT 3600 is a container ship type of the Danish Seago Line, a subsidiary of Mærsk Line . The ships there form the new V-Class.
General
The ship type was designed by Odense Maritime Technology. The Vistula Mærsk was named "Danish Ship of the Year" by Maritime Danmark in 2018.
The ships are employed in various liner services of the Seago Line in the North and Baltic Seas in the classic feeder service. However, they are significantly larger than the feeder ships previously used in the North Sea and Baltic Sea from Mærsk , which can carry between 1,400 and 1,700 TEU . Due to their dimensions, the ships can not pass the Kiel Canal .
Techniques for “situational awareness” are tested on board the Vistula Mærsk . For this purpose, a lidar system for distance and speed measurement is installed on the ship . The ships are also to be used to gain experience in the possible use of the Northeast Passage for traffic between Europe and the Far East .
With the Venta Mærsk , Mærsk Line tested the passage through the Northeast Passage from Asia to Europe in August / September 2018 . It was the first passage of a container ship through the Northern Sea Route without an icebreaker escort. The trip led from Vladivostok to Saint Petersburg via Busan and Bremerhaven and lasted from August 22 to September 28, 2018.
history
The construction contract for seven units of the type was signed on March 26, 2015. There is an option for two more ships of the type. Construction of the ships began on October 25, 2015.
The lead ship of the series was delivered on February 1, 2018. It has been in service between Rotterdam and St. Petersburg since April 2018 .
