Maersk Line - Triple-E: Smarter design, with room for 18,000 containers

While the new Triple-E class is only a few meters longer and wider than the current world record holder in size, it offers no less than 16 per cent more container space due to its wider, more bulbous bow.

The wide body allows room for an additional row of containers.
Moving the bridge forward improves the line of sight and makes it possible to stack containers higher.
Moving the engine backwards increases stability and allows for more containers below and above deck.

It all adds up to a 16% capacity improvement over the previous world record, and contributing to the 50% decrease in co2 emissions making the Triple-E the most advanced and efficient ship in the world.

THATS ONE BIG BOAT! I hope one of these doesn't get stuck somehow that would be terrible

[beezeedog]

Port: How big is ur ship.

Maersk: *yes*

[xavierh.]

massive cargo ships like this are one of (if not THE) most underrated works of engineering, this thing is insane.

[SuspectDK]

It is, 2 meters longer and a few meters wider, as it says in the video. Trust me, I've been on board one of these. They are freaking massive. They´re also going to build 20 of these.

I wonder if the dealership is nearby so I can test drive one.

[skulluyman]

I own this in Shipping Lanes, and trust me, it is a MONSTER of a ship.

Sues Canal: I'm afraid of nothing, but

[Richards_]

I really cannot wait to work with you guys I'm just excited to work with this company

[teoterglavcnik]

I saw one of this with my eyes (maersk hidalgo) and i can say this thing is so big you cant imagine it was about 350meters long and 50meters wide

[frontview]

Did you ever stop to think about how Wonderful these ships are? Amazing

[chrishux]

Maybe make ships route specific... Hulls designed for optimal comfort, go as far as studying the topography of a ships assigned route to time waves, and make the ride as smooth, safe and secure as possible.

[giveaf]

Imagine one these but a a theme park. With levels of entertainment below deck. Oh man... That would be great. A travelling amusement park.

[PointyTailofSatan]

Moving the bridge improved the line of sight? To what? The sky? lol

[__-pgso]

In addition a sea wave viewer linked with the rudor just bite the front edge thight with least wavebreaks, an wave migration processor can predict the chest and wheel a shorter line to cut across will reformed the way of launching.

[pinoyako]

Hope I can be able to work in one of these gigantic ships!

[bluecollarphil]

Let’s hope this one doesn’t get stuck in a Canal too... 🤣

[borosasa]

I didn't know I'd be watching this 9 years later. Hope it has depreciated rapidly. Now I need to find the nearest dealer.

[Name-psfx]

Some day, after the modern world has been destroyed (for whatever reason), ships like this will become the stuff of legends.

Check out the story behind the Maersk star & why it's on every Maersk vessel.
Promise kept!

[Leb-wjvd]

Wish me luck!


I will sail it though the Suez canal
