IT IS significant and humbling to have a Maersk ship named after a place, a vanua of Fiji, says Bernard Hong Tiy, managing director of Maersk agent, Shipping Services (Fiji) Pte Ltd.
Mr Hong Tiy made the statement after the arrival of the 2546 container capacity vessel, the MV Maersk Nadi as part of her maiden call into the Port of Suva on Thursday morning.
In a statement, the company said the arrival of a Maersk container ship named after the jet-set town and vanua of Nadi, hoped to signify optimism in the resurgence of the tourism industry and the economy as the mass COVID-19 vaccination program gathered momentum.
