Vessel Description
Detroit Express is a large container vessel operating under the Liberian flag and managed by Hapag-Lloyd AG, one of the world's leading container shipping companies. Built in 2012 by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea, the vessel is part of Hapag-Lloyd's fleet deployed on transatlantic trade lanes connecting major European ports with North American destinations.
With a capacity of approximately 8,749 TEU and a deadweight of over 103,000 tonnes, Detroit Express represents a significant asset in the mid-to-large container vessel category. The vessel's name reflects Hapag-Lloyd's historical practice of naming vessels in series after major cities, in this case referencing Detroit, Michigan, a key industrial hub in the United States. The ship is designed to serve high-volume trade corridors and is equipped for efficient port operations at major container terminals on both sides of the Atlantic.
