EMMA  MAERSK
Container ship model

When she was put into service in August 2006, Emma Maersk was the largest container ship to grace the seas. 400 m long, she can carry 14,770 containers all over the world.

Before Emma Maersk's construction, Maersk Line was building S-Type vessels that were about 6,000 TEU, of which the first was the Regina Maersk. They scaled them up slowly, but the ships were mainly the same. The new Emma Maersk was a completely different design with the engine room and bridge at midship. IMO Line of Sight rules regulated how many containers could be loaded forward, and this new design allowed more room for containers. Emma Maersk was also wider, allowing for 22 containers to be loaded in rows along the vessel. At the time of construction, there wasn't a port that could unload all the containers without turning the ship around. Maersk sent a clear message that these new ships needed to be accommodated and the terminals had to redesign with new quay cranes for this class of larger vessel.

Emma Maersk's power comes from the world’s largest single diesel engine, a Wärtsilä-Sulzer 14RTFLEX96-C that produces up to 109,000 hp. It weighs 2,300 tons and powers multiple other generators, employing cogeneration and exhaust heat recovery. Exhaust gases are recirculated into the engine for improved efficiency and heat is used to power steam turbines and heat the ship.

The main propeller shaft is the longest in the world at 150 meters long, allowing the engine compartment to be mounted in the middle of the vessel. Emma Maersk has two bow and two stern thrusters for maneuvering in port, and two pairs of stabilizer fins to reduce roll on the sea. Many vessels use a biocide to keep barnacles off the hull, but the Emma Maersk uses a silicone-based paint that won’t leak biocides into the ocean and reduces drag, saving about 1200 tons of fuel each year.

Emma Maersk was featured on Mighty Ships, a documentary series on Discovery Channel Canada. The National Bank of Denmark even created a 20 DKK commemorative coin for her in 2011, issuing 800,000 pieces.

Don't be fooled by very cheap Emma Maersk models out there. Those junk are horrible: missing important Maersk's logo on the bow, extremely simplified deck guide rails, wrong anchor system, ridiculous reddish deck, 'interesting' handrails on the bridge, rope on lifeboats, wrong funnel, shiny deck likes a cheap children toy...The whole thing is a big insult to the historic vessel.
