10241 Maersk Line Triple-E Container Ship

LEGO has just unveiled a new set from the "Maersk" range (Gone are the "Maersk Blue", place at"Medium Azure") with this version of the new freighter in the fleet of the Danish shipping company: The Triple-E, the first of which was launched last June in South Korea.
The first sets resulting from the partnership between the two companies date back to 1974 with the first container ship (1650), followed in 1980 by the first truck also dressed in the Maersk colors. Other sets were subsequently marketed including the train set 10219 (2011) and the cargo boat set 10155 (2010) which is itself a reissue of set 10152 released in 2004.

Below, the official press release, some photos and the presentation video. It will be without me, I'm not a big fan of boats, but I'll let you make up your mind.

Availability announced for January 2014 at a price of 129.99 €.
