World's largest container ship

mimo2005 · 08-26-2006, 10:47 AM

It's longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall , wider than the width of a football field and it can officially hold 11,000 20-foot-long shipping containers

You don't really see how big she is, but a Nimitz class aircaft carrier is dwarfed next to her. Found some more info; true capacity closer to 13,000 teu, and she has a low-drag silicone paint below the waterline which will reduce fuel consumption with 1,200 tons/year.

ps :"it can officially hold 11,000 20-foot-long shipping containers"

Wow , that's a lot of Heineken!

And imagine Emma Mærsk is 1,312 ft (400 m) long, and there's a supertanker called Knock Nevis, which is 1,504 ft (458 m) long - currently the biggest ship ever built. Between Knock Nevis and Emma Mærsk used to be the Sea Giant with a length of 1,359 ft (414 m), but it is now beached for scrap in India.

Now hopefully they have a port it can dock at. Most of the supertankers have to load and unload offshore because they are too big for the ports.
