Worlds Largest Cargo Ship

Now youknow how Wal Mart gets all its stuff from China.
World's Largest Cargo Ship. Get a load of this ship! 15,000 containers and A 207' beam !!!!!! And look at the crew size for a ship longer than a US Aircraft carrier which has a complement of 5,000 men and officers. Think it's big enough? Notice that 207' beam means it was NOT designed for The Panama or Suez canal. It is strictly transpacific. Check out 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. So this Behemoth is hugely competitive carrying perishable goods. This ship was built in three, perhaps as many as five sections. The Sections floated together and then welded. The ship is named Emma Maersk. The command bridge is higher than a 10 story building and has 11 crane rigs That can operate simultaneously. Additional info: Country of origin - Denmark Length - 1,302 ft Width - 207 ft Net cargo - 123,200 tons Engine - 14 in-line cylinders diesel engine (110,000 BHP) Cruise Speed - 31 Knots, Cargo capacity - 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 ft3 container) Crew - 13 people First Trip - Sept. 08, 2006 Construction cost - US $145,000,000+ Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water resistance and Saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year Attachment 45145 Attachment 45146 Attachment 45147 Attachment 45148 Attachment 45149 |

Re: Worlds Largest Cargo Ship
What happens to it when it rolls over at the dock? I have seen pics of them stuck bad when they are unloaded or loaded wrong. that could ruin a harbor if it got stuck there for a few months

Re: Worlds Largest Cargo Ship
The biggest ship I have ever been on was an oil tanker. I guess that doesn't qualify as a cargo ship.
The oil tanker Jahre Viking was the largest ship afloat in 1999. She is 458 meters [1,503 feet long] long, with a beam of 69 meters [226 feet]. The hull extends 25 meters below the water-line. When it is fully loaded with [COLOR=#3976C1 ! important][COLOR=#3976C1 ! important]crude [COLOR=#3976C1 ! important]oil[/color][/color][/color], she has a gross tonnage of 565,000 tons. Actually, the Maersk is the largest current cargo ship. There were 4 larger ones. 3 have been scrapped and one has FSO status. It is the largest cargo ship ever built, the Knock Nevis. ref Link |
