Maersk Line Triple-E: The largest, most efficient ship in the world

[19thSFGA]

When this bitch catches fire or starts dumping containers into the sea it will not be to Eco friendly.This is a floating ecological disaster just waiting to happen.This willkkeep flooding europe with more cheap chinese crap.Im glad its to big for US ports this will look great being unloaded in Rotterdam !

[ramfeild66]

@19thSFGA So name a friendlier means of product distribution, or do we just live of what we can grow in our gardens? That computer you wrote that comment on... probably container delivered, unless it's American, then it has probably stopped working.

[exoom]

enlarge your ship!

[VerySeriousUser]

what exactly is "environmental" in this context? lol

[Rico8458]

will China fill them? and can broke american buy the junk on them?

[markhellstone]

@Rico8458 they won´t go to america

[callmeshane303]

And what fuel does it use? Sulphur choked residual fuel oil - the last stage of oil between tar and charcoal.

No LNG? - why not?

If the designers are so fucking shit hot and environmentally conscious - where are the sails? Where is the giant high altitude tow kite?

There is no fucking effort at any environmental consciousness - only the lowering of fuel costs and economies of scale.

It's still a dirty piece of engineering bullshit.

@callmeshane303 yea i know have you seen the NYK super eco ship 2030 know that cares about the enviroment

[jeryl68]

just goes to show you how much money wallmart really makes ? cut prices ? maby but they are getting the money belive me it shows

[R0mme1]

This ship so big, that it will never come to a port in USA.

[MsZeitgeist85]

Wow a ship big enough to carry America's trade deficit with China.

[MrFordShelby]

soooo big !

[kadendobby]

tripple E=(E)normous hug(E) larg(E)

[MrCudy789]

Theres probaly only like 4 ports big enough for this ship :-)

[victorh1414]

You know what would have made this ship class even better? Make them in Denmark.

[Rico8458]

too bad america is broke to buy all that junk

[MaxMaersk]

that`s the machine.........fucking perfect



[MrShrapnelDK]

Huge-ass-index meter: Pretty fucking huge!

[why862]

who wants to make business

[Jyrki1964]

We also build biggest machines to these ships. Wartsila group.



[ceemosp]

@Jyrki1964 yup...and thats why they are called MAN diesels...because they are build by Wartsila...NOT.

[Jyrki1964]

@ceemosp

Ok, but we do have a biggest marine engine ever built: Wärtsilä RT-flex96C

[BelgianEvo]

@Jyrki1964 : What engine setup will they get? A single propeller one has 110.000hp ... Will this get 2* 60.000 or so?

[Jyrki1964]

@BelgianEvo

Those Maersk triple-E ships would propably have MAN engines. However Wartsila still provides the most powerful marine engines in the world: Wärtsilä RT-flex96C

[Gabriella292u]

Worth noting that offers from Chinese shipbuilders was ignore and refused due to real concerns what they would do with the technology they would then get access too.

[Jyrki1964]

WHAT?

Odense Shipyard is closing it's activities?

I see. The jobs go to east...

They can come to Finland. To build massive cruise ships instead of massive cargo ships. I guess that segment of shipbuilding is not going to go to east so easily.

[realvanman1]

Two people don't like the idea of making it more economical to foist worthless Chinese products on the rest of the world...

[TheAllimania]

i want one of those in a zombie apokolypse...food forever, and be save forever...:D

[botijo]

ahi caen dos o tres Titanic.

que bestia

[kuzak20]

I'm a sales and purchase broker in shipping. I do this everyday so trust me when I say this, you don't know what you're talking about. Denmark (Europe) is way too expensive for newbuildings. That's why 90 pct is RoRo vessels and offshore units coming out of Europe. Btw, am also excvlusive on a Shipyard in Europe. Its not about being "poor" but about making money. Shipyards in Korea and Japan arte as good as Europe.

[tupsumato]

@kuzak20, I think it's okay that European shipyards concentrate on more "difficult" ships such as ferries, cruise ships, arctic vessels and generally prototypes while simple bulk carriers, container ships, tankers and such are built in places liek South Korea and China.

[kuzak20]

@tupsumato excatly what I said....

[CookieMonzta1995]

20-30 % ? Well that's darn good!

[victorh1414]

Why are they not built in Denmark?? Maersk Line, Denmark is NOT proud of you anymore!!!!

[kuzak20]

@victorh1414 Because it's too f*cking expensive. Would you willingly pay 20-30% more just because it was blt in Denmark? I wouldnt.

[victorh1414]

@kuzak20 1. Denmark is not poor. 2. This Danish shipyard was the best in Europe and cheaper then anyother in Europe. Maersk Line GO TO HELL!!

[kuzak20]

@victorh1414 again you prove you don't know what youre talking about. These units cost roughly 190 million a piece. They ordered 10 +10 +10 option recently. So if you take into consideration building them in Europe would cost almost 500 million more on 10 units average, and say they use their 10 + 10 option that would be roughly 1.5 billion (all expenses) for a series of 30 ships. Do you know what kind of fleet you could buy for 1.5 billion? I do = Alot of ships.

[R0mme1]

@kuzak20

The quality of the danish ships is a lot better than those, from Korea and China...

[victorh1414]

@R0mme1 Are you joking? Ships from Asia is shit next to a ship built in Denmark.... This is a fact.

[AdmiralMoeberg]

@victorh1414 Lindø wich is the only shipyard in Denmark that can build ships in that size is being closed

[victorh1414]

@AdmiralMoeberg That shipyard is owned by Maersk.... They would not have to be closed if the Triple E class was built there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maersk, Denmark is NOT proud of you anymore!!

[AdmiralMoeberg]

@victorh1414 why do u say that Denmark is not proud of Maersk anymore. you do not know how much Maersk has done for Denmark

[victorh1414]

@AdmiralMoeberg Yeah why don't you tell that to the 6,000 shipyard workers...

[AdmiralMoeberg]

@victorh1414 Mærsk taber milliarder af kroner på at holde Lindø kørende

[irishbreakfast]

i wonder how many 10gal tanks and 2ft square cages each with different animals, and pots of plants you could jam into it?how bout bags of seeds of all kids? think about it for a century.like noah had to.

[irishbreakfast]

notice how its shaped like noahs ark?the most eergy efficient shape? well,well,well whadaya know ???shocking,aint it?

[tucucito01]

tripple e = eeenormous!!!

[feijenoordtifosi]

This ship is longer than New York´s tallest skyscraper on its side. Can´t wait to spot one in the Rotterdam port!

[edl003]

Wow!
