Maersk McKinney "Triple E" Mega Container vessel arrives in Europe for first time



Good afternoon All

This really is impressive. Imagine a vessel which can carry over 18,000 twenty foot containers (18,000 TEU) ! Less of a container ship, more of a floating island!

This is the first of a new breed of container ship which arrived in Rotterdam on 16-Aug and will be followed by 19 more of the same design for Maersk Line.

The general idea here is to reduce the lift cost per container by fitting as many containers as possible onto this new breed of ship.
