"The EMMA MÆRSK, an PS-type vessel and one of the largest container vessels in the world, is capable of carrying 14,770 TEU, has an overall length of 397 metres and a width of 56 metres." (from Maersk site). 56 meters (or metres) is 183 feet, not 207. The Suez canal at its narrowest is 60 meters. This ship goes from Europe to Asia thru the Suez canal and back. It has never been to America. It has nothing to do with Walmart. Otherwise, a good video, good pictures and nice music.
Any store that has an item that was made with the tag, Made in Japan, Made in China, Made in Taiwan has been brought over on a ship like this, never mind walmart.

She has never been to the United States. Walmart has nothing to do with it. The video is nice. Just ignore the hysterical propaganda accompanying it.
These great ships are magnificent works of engineering and naval architecture. They deserve our admiration. A container ship can move cargo east just as well as west. If this country produced anything anyone wanted, Maersk would be only too happy to transport it. Don't blame the ships.
well one things for sure, we export Caterpillar engines to Denmark for these boats so therefore nothing may go back to China, but we send stuff out none-the-less.
Our economny is being ruined by ships like this. Stuff comes from China and NOTHING goes back, except EMPTY containers. And Ive pulled containers off the ports over the years.
11th of may 2011 - Maersk Elba (366 m) in Gdańsk, Poland ... 25-28 may 2011 will be Maersk Eleonora (398 m length) in Gdańsk ... in 29th January there will be Maersk Emma ... now polish harbour of Gdańsk is the European leader of big-cargo ships (not Hamburg) ... wanna see those gigants - come to Poland ... ;]
Naval Station Norfolk is the largest Naval base in the world, supporting 75 ships alongside 14 piers and 134 aircraft and 11 aircraft hangars, base population is 82,896 active duty; 112,000 family members; 29,137 civilians.
San Diego has 54 ships and 13 piers, (no airbase) base population is 20,000 military personnel and 6,000 civilians.
@RetSquid S.D. has no airbase? when did you actualize your informations?
ok the county has no airbase but there is a PRETTY big one inside the country (not farer then 10 miles away) and S.D. has surrely much more to do then norfolk.
and i started to talk here not about naval bases but trading seaports
but like i said b before i started talking here about TRADING SEAPORTS!!!
i just compared it too something i´ve seen.
but if it anoyes you, if i say that S.D. naval base is fucking more beautiful then the all-messed-up base in norfolk were my friend always met drunk marine officers, then my friend, it´s time to think about HOW MUCH money the us is pumping into their military EVERY DAY,
@RetSquid theyßve caused trouble for other countries and for their own people just because your lovely W. Bush started a very costfull war just to get a few dropps of oil
Cool, pull the race card, are you a racist or just massively insecure about something? Maybe it sucks because there is no parking on base. Maybe it sucks because it so small and cramped, maybe just because it's hot. Maybe it sucks just because it's a dirty, crappy town.
@TheDemonDakki Not Hamburg, right - Bremerhaven. And Aarhus, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge.
Atm there are only two real "leader in big cargo ships" in europe, both from Denmark: A.P. Møller – Mærsk Gruppen and Odense Staalskibsværft. Maersk Line can change ports on short notice, if they wish...
@woodscritter, not necessarily. Dollar is used as an unit of currency in several other countries, so in international context it's not necessarily redundant to use "US$". The "superimposing" you suggested is entirely fictional - the dollar sign has been used before the United States was formed.

What nonsense, none of the E-Class Maersk ships has ever entered US waters. Nor were they ever commissioned, owned or built by Wal-Mart. It's a Made-up email spam, with its subject changing faster than that of a chameleon.
Wamart is the number one retailer that has done more than their share of damage to the manufacturing industry of this country. Est say that nearly 90% of all products sold in WALLY WORLD r from China. BUY AMERICAN. Remember, a country that doesnt work and produce its own goods has nothing to sell..How can a country that produces little to nothing while our manufacturing and technology is all being sent overseas survive.? Look at GM, Ford, near demise> With no tech we become a third world nation.
Wal Mart operates big department stores in many Chinese cities now. They depend on these large container ships for transporting goods to China manufactured all over the world (Europe and USA) and earn foreign currencies back for US corporate owners and shareholders. Just go to Shanghai, Beijing and Kwangzhou to update (your) world knowledge.

@plaebslayer It's insane to see something that big much less the size of the ship! Have you seen the videos of divers polishing the prop's on cruise ships etc. Nerves of steel those divers! Apparently there are a few of us out there that are overwhelmed / a little bit scared of the props! Crazy huh! ;)
@jesthyg Even if it did come to America, where would they park such a huge vessel? !6 meters for a draught one would assume is very good for it's size
@jesthyg I'm on your side. She is too fat for Panama and does the Suez run from Asia to Europe (which she was built for). Her sister ships do the America/Europe (Atlantic) run and the Asia/Pacific without having to go thru Panama and there are 4 more on the slips being built in China from Australian iron ore, so they must be good :)
@jesthyg Very True, I sailed past her sister ship the Elly Maersk who was transitting the Suez in our convoy it turned out back in Feb. BIG SHIP. We were 300m long...she had a 1/3 more lenght.
It only cost $145 million? With the cargo it hauls, it will pay itself off in less than a year. That's smart engineering, and any credible engineer will agree.
@lagunabad Beam denotes the port to starboard width of the ship. So looking at teh ship head on you would see it is 207 feet wide. 2/3rds of an Amercian football field. The Panama Canal is only 110 feet wide. But this can go through the Suez canal which is 984 feet wide and has no locks.

Damn, people will even argue over a video of a monster freighter. Where's Nurse Ratched when you need her?
Great vid. I was under the impression ocean tubs were shorter than Great Lakes freighters here in order to handle the ocean swells better. I guess I was wrong about that, this thing is huge.
In the text you mean INCREASES water resistance, not reduces water resistance. If it reduces, you lower its ability to resist water, which means its less waterproof than before.
That's right America! Comes LOADED FULL of chinese goods and the only this it brings back are OUR JOBS. We send nothing back. Buy American goods and produce.. or whatever is left of American goods...
Okay knuckleheads. This ship rarely calls on US ports and is not owned or operated by Wal-Mart. This behemoth sails mostly between China and Europe. The fact that this ship is enormous means that is in fact more envirnomentally friendly than shipping the same amount of cargo on 3 or 4 smaller ships. Use some common sense people.
Isnt anyone afraid of swimming near these cuz me and a couple of friends where walking in a port with a ship big like this one , some guy didnt see us in his car on reverse and we tripped and fell near the propeller ( the boats engine wasnt ON) and then my fried started crying for help and i realized it just know that its one of my phobias
I don't blame you. I was in a row boat once and got caught in a large ship's swell or turbulence. It's hard as hell to get out of it once you're caught.
such a big vessel - this has nothing to do with real seafaring... if you would take one of the guys working on such a vessel and put him on a small 90m - coaster in the biscaya-sea.. after one week he would sign off because of sea sickness ^^
I hear that Maersk is huge in Denmark, like they have their own shipyards, airlines, and more. Must be nice because their U.S. arm, Maersk Line Limited, absolutely sucked to work for and they build all of their ships in China thus they all rot out in about 8 years. To any European merchant mariners on here, I envy you and your european made ships (even the older American ships still have you beat, we just didn't keep up on the technology because we're retarded like that)
@GoallSales Shame you did not do more home work on your comments about this vessel. fucking idiot spreading total false statements ( apart from the dimensions, well done, your mother would be proud, if you knew who she was ). but then again the world does expect that from red neck journalist shooting twats
I used to be employed with Maersk Line and this ship visited the USA at least once, as far as I know. I have a picture of it coming through Charleston, SC.
@BBountiful WHAT ? another fucking idiot. Post a photo on the internet along with dates, times, which terminal and which berths in Charleston. You will proved once again to be a total fucking moron.

In the text you mean INCREASES water resistance, not reduces water resistance. If it reduces, you lower its ability to resist water, which means its less waterproof than before.

Chinese goods are cheap and people buy them, that is market forces.
For the record, this vessel and her sisters:
1) Do go through Suez and on a weekly basis
2) Has never yet touched any shores on North America
GoallSales has definately scored an own goal on this one lol.

That's right America! Comes LOADED FULL of chinese goods and the only this it brings back are OUR JOBS. We send nothing back. Buy American goods and produce.. or whatever is left of American goods...

Duh, i thought it was kind of obvious it was owned by Maersk or else it would be called the Emma Wal*Mart.
emergenyexit23 2 years ago
Okay knuckleheads. This ship rarely calls on US ports and is not owned or operated by Wal-Mart. This behemoth sails mostly between China and Europe. The fact that this ship is enormous means that is in fact more envirnomentally friendly than shipping the same amount of cargo on 3 or 4 smaller ships. Use some common sense people.

I would be, just like I'm afraid of all massive moving machines. But then again it's just one of my silly phobias.

I don't blame you. I was in a row boat once and got caught in a large ship's swell or turbulence. It's hard as hell to get out of it once you're caught.

such a big vessel - this has nothing to do with real seafaring... if you would take one of the guys working on such a vessel and put him on a small 90m - coaster in the biscaya-sea.. after one week he would sign off because of sea sickness ^^

I hear that Maersk is huge in Denmark, like they have their own shipyards, airlines, and more. Must be nice because their U.S. arm, Maersk Line Limited, absolutely sucked to work for and they build all of their ships in China thus they all rot out in about 8 years. To any European merchant mariners on here, I envy you and your european made ships (even the older American ships still have you beat, we just didn't keep up on the technology because we're retarded like that)

Everybody gets its stuff from China get used to it, and it's all thanks to yourselves.
But this ship is Suez capable because she sailed through it during the maiden voyage.
