Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller

Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller is the first of Maersk Line’s twenty Triple-E class ships, built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering and delivered in 2013 with 18,270 TEU capacity, then the world’s largest. She is 399 m long and 59 m wide with a 14.5 m draft. The Triple-E name stands for economy of scale, energy efficiency, and environmentally improved: twin slow-running engines and twin propellers replace the single big bore of the E-class, paired with a waste-heat-recovery plant and a hull optimized for slow steaming at 16 to 19 knots. The design cut CO2 per container moved by about 35 percent against the industry average of its time. The class runs the Asia-Europe trade through Suez.
