Discovery Channel visits Steel Shipyard Odense in Denmark, where the last to be built from eight identical sister ships. Eugen Maersk (IMO: 9321550, port of registry in Randers, Denmark), together with her sisters (amongst others) 'Emma Maersk', 'Estelle Maersk', 'Evelyn Maersk' and 'Ebba Maersk', the largest container ships ever with total capacity of 11,000 TEU TEU (of which 1,000 Forty Foot reefer containers) according to the AP Moller - Maersk Group. A total of 13,500 TEU capacity is alsopossible when containers are not fully loaded. This capacity is possible by stacking the containers in 22 rows wide. Maersk calculates the teu capacity with loaded containers. The vessel is 397 meters long, 56 meters wide, has a depth of 30 meters and a deadweigth of 156907 tons. Amazingly, all this size and capacity requires a crew of only 13. The specially designed Wärtsilä diesel engine delivers 80000 kW. A waste heat recovery system is installed to optimize the use of the energy produced, so that the motor can be up to 90000 kW. Ships of this series will also set new standards in safety and environmental responsibility. The security environment silicone paint, for example, is used on the hull below the waterline, so water resistant, and therefore the fuel consumption of 1200 tonnes per year. The ship was delivered from Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd in 2008 as the eighth and final ship Maersk PS-class.
