Germany: Jungerhans’s New Container Ship Begins its Maiden Voyage

The latest container ship new building, completing the fleet of ships managed by Jüngerhans Maritime Services, has begun its maiden voyage from China to Europe with a full cargo of empty containers.

Upon delivery of the vessel by Jiangdong shipyard located in the Chinese province of Wuhu, the journey first took it to Qingdao. A total of 450 40-foot container was loaded there. They were brand new reefer containers equipped with their own refrigerating device.

The journey of MV “ARIES J” first went through the Panama Canal to Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. There, the new containers were unloaded. The charter contract with the Spanish shipping company Boluda, already concluded prior to delivery from the shipyard, was started on March 1st in Las Palmas / Gran Canaria.
