HANSA NEUBURG – IMO 9430870

now CTM ISTMO / ex NEUBURG / CORVETTE

HANSA NEUBURG was the name carried by a Chinese-built 1,740-TEU feeder containership recorded by PiraeuShips during her German-managed period.

Built by Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard in 2010, the vessel originally entered service as CORVETTE before becoming HANSA NEUBURG in 2015.

Following later changes of ownership and commercial employment, the ship was shortened to NEUBURG in 2021 and subsequently renamed:

CTM ISTMO

in 2023.

Today IMO 9430870 remains fully active under the Panama flag, trading between Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and Atlantic ports.

Atlantic destinations,

and smaller regional terminals.

PiraeuShips Record

HANSA NEUBURG was recorded by PiraeuShips during a completed German-managed chapter in the career of this Chinese-built feeder containership. Built by Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard in 2010 and originally delivered as CORVETTE, the approximately 1,740-TEU vessel became HANSA NEUBURG in 2015 and retained that name until 2021. After a short period as NEUBURG, she was renamed CTM ISTMO in 2023 and transferred to the Panama flag under Transportes Marítimos del Atlántico interests. Still fully active in 2026, IMO 9430870 continues regional and Atlantic container trading, making the PiraeuShips footage a record of an identity that has now disappeared from the vessel's hull.
