MAERSK EMDEN inbound Southampton 28 Oct 2017

Photo credits 

Pam Massey shared Ships 'n More Ships's album to the group: All kind of ship photo's.

Report receieved today that Rickmers have sold 4 (possibly all 8 - needs to be confirmed) of their 13,492 teu Maersk Edinburgh Class ships to Maersk on or around 20/09/2017. 
Total crew replacements are imminent.

Vessels in this Class:
Maersk's Edinburgh, Emden, Eindhoven, Essen, Edmonton, Elba, Evora & Essex.
Maersk Evora already transferred to Danish flag, but Rickmers still showing as managers.

Indeed all eight have been sold to Maersk.
What I understand is that Maersk will only do the management of 5 of them (most probably also only 5 under Danish flag).
The remaining three will be managed by a German ship management company.
Cheers,
Roy
