This big ship the Emma Maersk will hold 15,000 containers and has a 207' beam and is 1,302' long! That 207' beam means it was NOT designed for the Panama or Suez Canal. It is strictly transpacific. more...The cruise speed: 31 knots means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. Made in Denmark.

  • Actually, Emma is 56 m wide (183"). The Suez Canal is 60 m wide. She goes from Bremerhaven and Rotterdam in Europe to Singapore, China and Japan via the Suez Canal and back. 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.

  • 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 ... ;]

  • The cuising speed is 25 knots not 31...

  • NICE!!! I love Wal-Mart. I'm glad they have a big ship like this to bring me my goods.

  • 31¸knots cruising speed???? wtf

  • @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...

  • Chuck Norris called hes taking a bath and wants his toy back -.-

  • @itsnotfunnyHAHA N.F. is the largest navy port on the east cost.
