18,270 TEU capacity: First Triple-E named Maersk Mc-Kinney Möller

First Tiple-E vessel of Maersk Line sets new standards in the container industry – also in the field of environmental performance
 
Maersk Line’s newest vessel, the first of the Triple-E series, was named on 14 June in a ceremony at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) shipyard in Okpo, South Korea. It bears the name of the late Maersk Mc-Kinney Möller, who passed away in April 2012 at the age of 98. The ship with 400 meters length and 59 meters breadth has a capacity for 18.270 TEU.
 
The Triple-E is the largest ship in the world, and it sets new standards in the container industry, not just for size, but also of energy efficiency and environmental performance. With unique design features for slower speeds and maximum efficiency, this vessel will emit 50% less CO2 per container moved than the current average on the Asia-Europe route. Maersk Line has ordered a total of 20 of these vessels, which will be phased in gradually over the next couple of years on the existing route between Asia and Northern Europe (AE10)
