Good to know

HMM, in a few facts

  • Ordered the twelve-ship Algeciras class — the world's largest ships at their 2020 delivery — as a state-backed statement after the Hanjin collapse left Korea without a major line.
  • HMM Algeciras departed on her maiden voyage with a then-record 19,621 laden containers, straight into the pandemic cargo boom.
  • Formerly Hyundai Merchant Marine; the initials survived the restructuring, the Hyundai name did not.
