I took this picture of the container Ship MSC Mahima when I was in Laem Chabang on 13 April 2011.
She was scrapped in Alang in late 2011 and at the time achieved the highest weekly scrap rate in the container segment with 16,143 ldt at $517/ldt due to good build, non ferrous content and the vessel equipment on board including full spares.
She was built by Atlantique, St.Nazaire, France in 1985 as Yard Number j28 and was 243.4m long with a 32.3m beam and 13.0m maximum draft.
She had many names since she was built including.
CR Paris (until 1987)
Maersk Tacoma (until 1988)
Maersk Paris (until 1990)
CGM Paris (until 1994)
Sea Premier (until Feb 1994)
Houston Express (until 1997)
Houston (until 2000)
Alma A (until 2001)
Zim venezia II (until 2002)
Zim Chicago (until 2004)
SCI Mahima (until 2007)
Her maximum TEU capacity was 2536.
GT = 37,814, NT 17,339, DWT 53,726.
Powered by a B&W 7L90GB (21,217 kW) engine she had a service speed of 19 knots and a maximum speed of 20.5 knots.
