[killerjoy777]

I saw him at 30 metres away from me! :D

[SuperMandrake007]

[petespencer23]

@1juno1 and there is no 46th second.

[Otacatapetl]

@1juno1 What video?

[Doommius]

Ehm? if you didn't know, why the ship is being pulled, is that it normally takes 1-2 km to stop,

I'm sorry.... but accident?? I see NO evidence of ANY accident, nor any description about it. yet ANOTHER waist of a video..........

[Antifaith29]

@revvinkev do you not see it sitting half way out of the water in most pics?

[PedersEgo]

fedt lydspor! Hvor finder man det?

Too bad you didn't get the accident...

@lovevolbeat123 Idiot

[mandrake127]

I was at sea for 26 years, and I accept the argument that modern cargo ships put carrying capacity and efficiency above all else, after all, they are in the business of making money. Even so ... that ship is, to quote Arnie, one 'ugly motherfucker'.

Did she run ground?

Emma Maersk Accident? Shame you didn't capture it then.

[letmesnitch]

when its filled with cargo it sits much lower

[aviomaster]

@Winters517 - YOU are such a clueless dumb as,. AS most people who have no clue what they are talking about when they mention CHINA.

[librajim1981]

so where is the accident?

[NearAbbeyRoad]

The tall flat sided accommodation block must do wonders for cutting into the wind.

[tupsumato]

@NearAbbeyRoad, there'll be containers in front of it anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

[95Titanium]

Y THERE NO ACIDENT?!?!?

[gregory13130]

music ?

[CalMariner]

Wrong title.

[gullreefclub]

I read an article when this ships was being built that reported that reason the house and the engine on this series of ship is located a midship stability and structural support additional it allows containers to be stack higher. The article went onto say that the bridge level will saw as much as 35 meters in a 20 degree role

[AnarchyRules25]

OMFG thumbs up for amazing song. pink floyd is awesome

[spamstoper3]

wow

[fannybaba]

gleet!



[Blackie3391]

Love the picture at 0:33 all the people on the roof of the bridge and Dannebrog right above :)

[towboatin1]

[charles621000]

@towboatin1 I think it's Any colour you like by Pink Floyd off Dark Side Of The Moon

[serresjio]

[chuckeieio]

Nice! I bet you could fit 100,000 dead beluga whales on that thing! Amazing!

[blackmondae]

Emma is the sistership of Eugen.

Im totaly amazed that Singaporeans can handle one of the worlds biggest vessel!

amazing!

[Cezahujnia]

great container ship! has great deadweight!

[Maorisachok]

im a lashing man!!!and i've come across this vessel once

[TheChiefEngineer]

i like maersk :) i trained with them, and im glad i did.

[OhMyChinchilla]

huh?

[des22969]

Holy shit.....I cannot believe the IMPENDING CLOSURE OF EOC has forced 20 EOC CAPACITY staffs to be transffered to CORDINATORS to plan EMMA MAERSK?????? A MAJOR CATASTROPHIC DISASTER AWAITS MANNNNNN.......what the hell man.....1st 24/7 shift work in MSK EOC...NOW Closure of MSK WOC and 7 cordinators will come over to EOC to handover ONLY and will eventually vanquished. To make up for the cordinators, 20 EOC capacity staffs will be planners......what hell is going with MSK????? Ex PONL planner.

[f3000man]

ka ka ka ? what are you a child ?

so as you are not msk you must be one of the rejects that we got rid of or you could not make the grade.

you really are a sad little person who has lost a lot of face.

again as you do not work for msk you cannot comment but please feel free to post more messages as they are extremely funny and keeping us all amused.

[des22969]

I was ex PONL eaten by stupid danished butter cookie MSK....and I got the fuck out of MSK EOC before the stupid 24/7 shift crap started.Steen Lund been fired from MSK EOC.you happy now.More of your 6400 teus crappy vessels equals 50000 teus in total been laid off now how depressing can that get.Yes I waiting for the day the MSK sell of the CB biz (rumours abound by MISE trainees on board MSK vessels said that and I will laughing my bloody socks off.get your facts right 1st before laughing at me.

[54spiritedwill54]

Maersk ships are always very smart!!

[blackmondae]

you are wrong! The people behind every Maersk ship are very smart! :D

[des22969]

guess what the jokes on you now f3000man, you brits. MSK WOC is closing this Dec 2008 & Jan 2009 massive cutting off staffs there cause you jokers are to expensive to hold onto......those who got the offer to come to MSK EOC will be on local terms...I cannot believe I'm laughing my god damn pants off now mannnnnnnnnn........CANNOT STAND FUCKING MAERSK LINE.....THINK THEY ARE THE BIGGEST AND THEY ARE THE LOAD OF CRAP WHEN COMING TO CUT MANPOWER.......ONLY KNOW HOW TO BUY OTHER LINES TO GROW BIG

[f3000man]

You are in for a big shock then. WOC will lose a 'possible' maximum of single figures jobs, now compare this to EOC ! Those going to EOC will be on expat terms ( confirmed ). You have lost face and no matter what further crap you write, these are facts which you sadly lack. Oh and do not assume I am a Brit. Again, now who is laughing.

LOSS OF FACE BIG STYLE.

[des22969]

Then you musk be a fucking danish butter cookie than.....KA KA KA KA KA....let me tell you.....after you jokers from WOC coming to EOC....that's not the end.....1 to 2 years time....get ready for this......your so called GLOC will be banished to china or india lah.....think about it mannnnn major disaster in the making......last of all I'm not from MSK KA KA KA KA KA KA.....

[KeithUnderneath]

How fucking big d'you wanna make it lads?! Jesus!

[PhilipDK5800]

Pride of danish ship engineering.

[s13hgp]

@PhilipDK5800 ; Why did Maersk shut the Odense ship yard then?

[pasc259]

Look at all those catwalks!

[dsbeaumont]

Being an ex merchant seaman from the 70's i am afraid i cant call this a thing of beauty. Just made to carry as many boxes from a to b. Agree with you Des 22969 and winters517

[corydorastube]

@dsbeaumont Well I am an ex Merchant Seaman from the seventies who served mostly on bulkers and box boats and I think she's a stoater!

[des22969]

Maersk Line SUCKS man only buy up LINES to grow BIG at LEAST MSC has the integrity to grow from within and their capability. MAERSK bought over P&O Nedlloyd and could not sustain. retrench P&O Nedlloyd staffs and now early this year 2008 April another RETRENCHMENT "STREAMLINE" (MSK sure has a theme or catch phrase for excercise they do) where more P&O staffs leave. THE FUTURE, Western Ops Center will close down soon and more staffs axed and move to Eastern Ops Center (now on 24hr shift work). HA

[f3000man]

Whose laughing now ! EOC to close and WOC to grow. Never joke about people losing their jobs. You are pathetic.

[lsvtect]

very nice ship. somebody know's the name of this song?

[denbatt]

'any colour you like' by pink floyd, from the album 'dark side of the moon'

[peugeuot82]

Now its burned

[IvarTheBoneIess]

it's not

[thefunkyone247]

wow that is big would love to see that in front of my eyes

[Winters517]

Yay, bring all that chinese shit over so that 98% is sitting in our landfills within the first 3 months 'cause it's such shit!!!

[tpvalley]

Just think, if we hadnt ruined our home industries by buying cheap in china we would have so much less polution.

Take cars - 30% polution comes from manufacture, if the car comes from china it needs transporting on a big ship and it lasts half the time of a quality car, so 2 have to be built to one of quality, double pollution again!

[robert3302]

@Winters517 Emma Maersk goes between Europe and Japan via the Suez canal, India, Singapore and China, then back.  It carries full containers both directions. It has never been to the United States.

[NearAbbeyRoad]

@robert3302

THis ship is a post-Panamax. Too big for the Panama Canal. There is no US eastern seaboard container port that can take this big ship. Newport is being deepened to accommodate these sizes of ships.

[albert256]

@Winters517 i, couldn't have said that better! I, mgr./partner in an oilfield & industrial supply business. Have been doing this work for 41 years. I, have always believed in selling PRODUCTS MADE IN USA, because of keeping the jobs in this country. If, I, need questions answered, I, am speaking to someone in THE USA. i, DON'T have to learn CHINESE. The oilfield does not want any of that CHINESE CRAP, METAL FAILURE FOR ONE. LET THE CUSTOMER BUY CHEAP. TRY TO BRING THE COMMINUST TO COURT.

[SquirrelFromGradLife]

@Winters517 No one is forcing you to shop at Walmart. They are destroying America every single day and worst of all they labor policy sucks. Every new non manager employee is issued with a folder about food stamps! Work at Walmart at the pay is that low you need to go on government food stamps to work in a damn supermarket..

[noonsight2010]

@SquirrelFromGradLife That's disgusting. Also WalMart, along with Coca-Cola and others sponsor Rodeos where horses are tortured with iron bars and electric cattle prods to make them buck. See the Youtube posting - it's sickening.

[donandroz]

@Winters517 yep thats right and yet you still keep on buying it ey

[bozzwilson]

man thats a mother fucker of a ship! bigger than wall street!

[ounaaja123]

o that ship have one of world biggest egine Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C

[ounaaja123]

o that ship have one of world biggest egine Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C

[deirup510]

What a bizarre looking ship. The little pinhead superstructure is halfway up the ship.  Weird.

[BibcottUnitas]

Thats a big ole girl, beautiful video!

[evilcult23]

Bridge is in the middle for container capacity reasons. Since the visibility from the bridge should be at least 2 times the length of the ship, that would "cut" a lot of containers from that point (bridge) to the fore peak. So they moved the bridge to the middle and left the funnel for the exhaust gases of the engine there which is placed in the aft.

[JonesDieselPerforman]

nice vessel

[McLarenMercedes]

Holy cow! That's a big ship. Of course the Knock Nevis supertanker is bigger but this is still impressive.

[apeppink]

Why's the house so midships like that instead of aft? Bow visibility over the containers? Seems like TV cameras could've been used.

[bickin]

should ask to naval architects. They might have concerned about stability.

[n25scott]

@bickin so you can still see over all the containers and pack them as high as possible aft

[tbmonsen]

Well, TV cameras are great, but if they fail, you have low or no visibility. I think it's rather smart to place it like that, having equal good visiblity forward and aft on a ship that size. Electronics are great, but when they fail... ouch. Lots of money (cargo) at stake!

[larsfunder]

That is because you need the engine and engine casing at the wide point off the hull and engine in the lowest possible area, further to avoid too long shafting, bending of shaft, when you allready have the engine casing and funnel it is most space effective to place accomodation there as well.

Further the accomodation would be very exposed if placed forward.

[apeppink]

Thx. for the very knowledgable reply Lars. I'd always heard houses/engines were aft as far as possible to minimize shaft length and bending, maintain baseplate rigidity, keep the mass center lo, etc. As you point out it depends also on hull fairing.

My brother's 'Lars' also. not a name you hear often in the US (outside of ND, MN, WA possibly).

[tupsumato]

@apeppink, I think it's mainly due to visibility. There are rules and regulations regarding how near the ship you need to see.

[elpollo1003]

@apeppink shoul be due to visibility, and is not posible replace the human eyesight for a camera due to camera needs a power supply, and for this reason may go wrong..........

[NeoDerGrose]

@apeppink It's becouse of the sightline. I guess that's what you mean by visibility.

[roger1anderson]

@apeppink cameras tend to fail

[mark311019941]

@apeppink it is so that the visibility over the stack is better. as it is it is close to a mile blind spot!

[martin16963]

@apeppink They moved the engine forward to get more room for containers :-)

[MF11283]

@apeppink many different reasons, including strength, stability, visibility (yes cameras would work but are illegal, they need and want a line of sight) but most importantly, containers cant be loaded under the house, and cant be loaded below deck if there is an engine there, get my drift?

[tupsumato]

@apeppink, the reason is simply visibility over the containers on the forward deck. You can stack them higher behind the superstructure, which increases cargo capacity.

It has nothing to do with stability.

[TRACTORBOYZRULE]

Maersk ships are always very smart!!
