[explorer914]

Its said that A.P Møller started the Odense Steel Shipyard. Is that the same shipyard that build Emma Maersk and her sisterships?

@explorer914 The first shipyard was closer to Odense in the Odense Canal. When that yard got too small, they built the yard at Lindø in Odense Fjord where Emma was built.

@explorer914 Google maps coordinates (55 25.600N 10 23.400E) this is the old yard.

@explorer914 (55 28.100N 10 32.500E) This is the new yard. The yard is closing down now. The triple E ships will be built in Korea.
