The Ym-Warranty: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On January 30, 2020, the container vessel 'YM Warranty' found itself anchored off the coast of Piraeus, waiting for health verification related to coronavirus concerns. The onboard team reported that all crew members were healthy and displayed no symptoms associated with the virus. Arriving from Singapore, the ship had previously set sail from China. After a day of waiting, the 'YM Warranty' was finally granted permission to dock on January 31, 2020.

On March 6, 2019, Yang Ming Shipping Corp. officially unveiled two state-of-the-art 14,000 TEU container vessels, YM Warranty and YM Wellspring, during a naming ceremony at the Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. shipyard. These vessels represent the fourth and fifth additions to Yang Ming's fleet among the five ultra-large container ships chartered from Shoei Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. The new vessels join their sisters, YM Wellbeing, YM Wonderland, and YM Wisdom, which were recently delivered to the company. Each ship boasts a nominal capacity of 14,220 TEU and features an impressive array of 1,000 reefer plugs for refrigerated cargo. With a length overall (LOA) of 366.44 meters, a beam of 51.2 meters, and a summer draft of 15.524 meters, these vessels are engineered for efficiency and speed, capable of reaching cruising speeds of up to 23 knots. This move not only expands Yang Ming's operational capacity but also reinforces its commitment to modernizing its fleet.
