The Container Ship “W. Kyrenia”, Another Giant Arriving for Repairs at the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

After the long stay of the Liberian-flagged container ship “San Francisco” at the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which arrived with fire damage in the engine room for repairs by local workshops, after its passage through Las Palmas, it sails towards Durban and now takes over at the same berth at the end of the southern dock another container ship, of shabby appearance and flagged in the Marshall Islands, called “W. Kyrenia”.

Formerly “Maersk Kyrenia”, formerly “P&O Nedlloyd Shackleton”, built in South Korea and in service since March 2001, it is a ship of 80,609 gross tons and 93,552 deadweight tons, with main dimensions of 299.99 m in length, 42.80 m in beam, and 14.58 m in draft. It has a capacity for 6,800 TEU and is powered by a Hyundai-Sulzer engine, with a power of 89,596 horsepower, allowing it to maintain a speed of 18 knots. IMO 9211494.
