Chris Fertig Of Maersk Attempts to Break the Bermuda Challenge World Record

Maersk: We are excited to announce that Chris Fertig of Maersk Line, Limited (MLL) is competing for the Bermuda Challenge World Record leaving on his boat, the TDI CLEAN DIESEL from Liberty Harbor Marina in New York at 9:30 a.m. on September 21, 2011.

Created by the Boating Magazine in 1994, the Bermuda Challenge is an offshore powerboat endurance race which begins at the Statue of Liberty in New York City and finishes at the sea buoy in St. Georges, Bermuda.

This exciting event is designed to challenge marine engineers and boat builders to develop more reliable and efficient vessels which are capable of making the arduous 780 mile open ocean transit from New York City to Bermuda.

MLL is excited to support this challenge and to see Chris’ hard work and experience with the most innovative marine technologies. Chris will arrive in Bermuda on September 22, 2011 and MLL will be issuing a press release.
