South Korean shipbuilding giant Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) held a naming ceremony at its Geoje shipyard for the largest containership built so far.

The newbuilding is the first of four 20,150teu containerships, ordered from Japan's shipping giant Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) in February 2015.

MOL Triumph, with length of 400m, breadth 58.8m, depth 32.8m, is an ultra-containership that can transport 20,150 containers.

The four vessels were ordered as part of a deal for construction of six 20, 000teu containerships.

Four 20,000teu containerships were assigned to SHI, whereas the remaining two were ordered from MOL's compatriot shipbuilder Imabari Shipbuilding Co.
