JAPAN HAS now joined the “mega” container ship band, with the 7 500+ TEU capacity P&O Nedlloyd Mondriaan - the largest container ship ever to have been built in that country – having just been put into service. Until now, container ships of this size had only been built in Korea. It has a length of 335-metres, a width of 42.8-m and a draught of 14-m.
