Container ship Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller
The container ship Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller is one of the most important examples of modern shipping. The ship is the first unit of Maersk’s new Triple-E series to be built and is also one of the largest container ships in the world.
What is the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller?
The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller was launched in 2013 and has remained a major player in global shipping ever since. This ship is known for its impressive length of 400 metres and width of 60 metres. The ship has the capacity to carry up to 18,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit), which is the standard unit for measuring the capacity of container ships.
Triple-E series
The Triple-E series, to which Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller belongs, was designed with three main aspects in mind: economy of scale, energy efficiency, and environmentally improved. These ships are designed to minimise fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
- Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller consumes 20% less fuel than her predecessors thanks to an optimised hull shape, long stroke engine, and waste heat recovery.
- It is equipped with a 4-blade propeller, which increases efficiency and reduces power consumption compared to a traditional 6-blade propeller.
Technical specifications
- Length: 400 metres
- Width: 60 metres
- Capacity: 18 000 TEU
- Speed: Designed for slow-steaming at 16 knots, but normally cruises at up to 22 knots.
- Fuel consumption: Average 100 tons of fuel oil per day.
- Engine power: 2 x 30 MW
Ecological benefits
One of the main benefits of the Triple-E range is its environmental friendliness. The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller produces up to 50% less emissions per container transported compared to previous generations of ships. This saving is achieved not only through more efficient fuel use, but also through overall design and technological innovation.
Attractions
- Maersk has ordered 10 ships of this series and has an option to build 10 more.
- It surpasses the previous record-breaking Emma Maersk not only in capacity, but also in efficiency and environmental performance.
- The boat has been designed with slow-steaming in mind, which means that it is optimised for cruising at lower speeds to achieve maximum fuel efficiency.
