16JAN2019 - NEWS - Ultra large containership Maersk Honam which suffered fire to be rebuilt by Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea

The ultra large containership Maersk Honam, which suffered a major fire in March 2018, was cut in two and would be shipped to South Korea for rebuilding. 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. 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.
