Regional Container Lines launches new 7,000 TEU vessel

Regional Container Lines (RCL) announced the delivery and maiden voyage of its new vessel, Jira Bhum, which took place on 21 January.

Jira Bhum, a 7,000 TEU container ship, was officially named on 10 December 2024, during a celebratory event at Jiangsu New Hantong Ship Heavy Industry in China. The occasion was graced by Police General Adul Sangsingkeo, accompanied by Aranya Sangsingkeo, who served as the Sponsor Lady. The event also saw the presence of RCL’s senior management team, including Dr. Jamlong Atikul Chairman, Sumate Tanthuwanit, Chairman of the Executive Committee, and Dr. Twinchok Tanthuwanit, President of RCL.

Like the other three vessels of the company, Guru Bhum, Hemma Bhum and Itthi Bhum, delivered in 2024, Jira Bhum was also constructed at the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Yard in China.

The new boxhsip boasts enhanced specifications, featuring Energy Saving Devices (ESD) such as Pre-Shrouded Vanes (PSV). These innovations reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by up to 3%, marking a step forward in sustainability.
