Ever Govern is the ninth G-Class ship (20,000+ TEU) to join the EVERGREEN fleet. After the arrival of this “megamax” ship, only two of this class remain to be delivered, so that the delivery of the 11 ordered in 2015 is complete. The last one is expected to arrive next September.
For the time being, Ever Govern has joined the OCEAN Alliance in the “NEU6” Asia – Europe loop (called “CEM” by EVERGREEN).
Features of Ever Govern and the New ULCVs
As we’ve mentioned in the past, these 400-meter-long, 59-meter-wide behemoths are equipped with an 11-cylinder MAN-B&W G95ME engine, which produces around 59,250 kW. This engine allows them to reach speeds of up to 21 knots.
The New ULCVs and the Environment
Unlike the first seven ships of this class already delivered, the Ever Govern, as well as the other three ships that make up the 11 on order, already come with a SOx scrubber installed. This “extra” means a loss of 144 TEU of capacity (from 20,388 TEU to 20,244 TEU). This is, however, an investment aimed at the greater good of preserving the environment. This limits polluting emissions into the atmosphere as much as possible and, consequently, our ecological footprint.
