Largest Container Ship In The World

[micflor531313]

it looks like figuring out how to put it together is as complicated as engineering the ship.

[JZBMV]

men.! this is cool

Nice vid and thanks to upload,

I saw this giant in Malacca strait.. from my Place in Acheh Sumatra, Indonesia. Sabang Island ZEE,... see you guy's in Zero six..

what about OOCL ATLANTA?isnt that the largest container vessel?

[akhansen82]

ha ha what happened at 0:17 ? the wrong block ? : )

[okol7]

big lego blocks :D

[Andante1961]

Track gauge (span) is 148,5 m. The track is 880 m long.

Lifting height over ground / drydock bottom is 77,5 / 88,5 m.

The crane is able to turn over (flip upside down) blocks of up till 600 tons. In many cases, two blocks (port / starboard side blocks ofthe same type) can be handled simultaneously.

[Andante1961]

The drydock is 415 x 90 x 11 m.

The tower cranes operating along the side of the dock are mostly 100 tonnes swl, though one is 75 and one is 40 tonnes swl.

The gantry crane assembling the ship from prefabricated blocks operates on 10 kV high-tension electricity and weighs 5200 metric tonnes. It's total height is 114 m.

The total lifting capacity is 1000 metric tonnes.

There are six main hoists with 300 t capacity each, plus one 15 t auxiliary hoist and a 16 t service crane on top.

[Andante1961]

1) The outfitting quay was blocked by the Emma Maersk which was delayed about a month due to a fire in her accomodation block.

2) The three weeks summer holiday fell within this period, significantly slowing down the building process.

The normal for this class was about 45 dock-days.

These vessels are 397,76 m long, beam is 56,4 m, max. draft is 15,5 m, air draft is 76 m. Deadweight ("payload") is about 156.000 mt. Max. service speed is officially 25,5 knots; in reality probably a bit more.

[Andante1961]

The keel was laid (the first block lifted into the drydock) at noon on May 21. The last lift to the ship (a lashing bridge) took place on August 24 and the keel for the following vessel was laid on August 27, so Evelyn would have been launched on August 24 or possible 25.

This gives you 3 months and 3 days dock-time, which was actually unusally long for this class. There are two reasons for this:

[Andante1961]

First of all: This video was recorded by the Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd. and handed out to employees for 'private use only', so a bit odd to see it here!

A lot of the comments here are bulls..., so let me clarify:

The vessel is the 'Evelyn Maersk', the second of eight identical vessels being built for Maersk Line. The first of the class was the famous 'Emma Maersk', hence the class is also referred to as the 'Emma Class' or simply the 'E-class'.

The video was recorded in the summer of 2006.

[MrRudov]

Huge size with same strength of the steel...

[fetufab]

nice to see ships are still being built in denmark

[HobieTyourtube]

Amazing!!

[thedjsnow]

Has anyone counted how many times it went light and dark? I find it hard to believe that this was built in less than a year?!

It is poetry though....

[jamesporter0788]

@thedjsnow all the parts were pre built then stuck together :) it is awesome!

[BADBOYZ1727]

@thedjsnow IT WAS ABOUT 2 OR 3 MONTHS TOPS I MAYBE STARTED COUNTING LIKE A MIN. IN TO THE VID

[blackmondae]

or is it emma maersk?

[BlackSheepDK2]

It is Emma Maersk the first largest Container ship constructed in the world

[blackmondae]

Whats the maximum payload? if you dont mind me asking.

[Gh0str1d3r1973]

@blackmondae

14.700 twenty foot equivalent units ( or TEU ) according to Maersk Line's website.

[blackmondae]

Eugen Maersk!

[baldymp3]

christ you think the ships are big then you have a look at the size of the gear used to build them!

[KB7KB7KB7]

Holy fuck!!!

[HsingG32]

awesome!!!!!!!

[jonastrex1]

Lol nice film:)

[1DanielChristensen]

it says error occurred try again later. Any one else gettin' that?

[condejohn]

lol..that is one big mama

[tjdwns2530]

This Container Ship is Made By Samsung

[4GQC3]

No, it´s a danish product!!!!  From Odense Steelshipyard!!!!!!!

[blightsmite]

I think the most amazing thing is that it only took one week to build

[Britannic1997]

it didn't, if you count how many days and nights it took. i think u will find out how long it did take!

[803161]

count the night and day..

[oipbhakeld]

can i buy here pay here one for $500 down and payments of $50 per week?

[bestamerica]

no need currency

[TBONEMCT]

awesome video. I wish I could get my hands on a set of plans. I'm building a model of it. Thanks for posting.

[ComoNor]

So, how big is it?

In european mesurments.

[krehall]

if memory serves about 1200 feet long 190 feet wide 76,000 tons displacment (unloaded) capable of 24 knotts top speed ( With 14 cylinder Wartaila RTA-96C).

[deejaydein]

this ship is scarry

[MCOvronnaz]

One thing: i just LOVED this vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Music was very well combined with a timelapse like this!!!

[Emil1787]

Woaw it is so cool and even cooler to think we are such a small creatures only 5.9 Feet in average can build things like these. Monster Huge Ships bridges skyscrapes and even Space station that bigger then football field.

[death759]

Emma got burned down.

[BlackSheepDK2]

No Emma Did Not Burn Down, I Work There and Saw the Fire, it only burned the Main Building where People Sleep and eat etc. We cutted the upperbody of the building off, then replaced it with a New upperbody. :-)

[death759]

K thanks.

[Claviale]

What do you do, what's your job?

[Holden688]

holly crap that thing is huge ive seen it on google map

[wpxcrunner]

[coolchips101]

holy........crap.........

[diarma10]

Well I work for Maersk Lines direct competitors but even I cannot help but appreciated this monster and it is a monster! 13,500 teu, jesus. I work with these vessels everyday and this shocked me when I first saw it.

[peacechina1987]

BlackSheepDK2, how long does it take to build it?

[hondonolikecomedy]

What's the name of this ship?

[walshy3000]

Would imagine this is the Emma Maersk

[HrsaILA]

Yeah, it's big Emma.

[HrsaILA]
