Emma Maersk.....She is very Interesting

Emma Maersk at Singapore


  • It can carry 11,000 full 20-foot containers. That equals a train of 71 kilometers long
  • A single 20-foot container can hold about 48,000 bananas. So, in theory, Emma Mærsk could transport approximately 528 million bananas in a single voyage - enough to give every person in Europe or North America a banana for breakfast (wowwwwwwwwwww...)
  • The main engine of vessel produces 109.000 horsepower, equal to that of 1,156 family cars;
  • The anchor weights 29 tons, equivalent to the weight of five adult African elephants (how heavy it is???)
  • The newly developed, more environmentally friendly silicone paint used below the waterline on a vessel creates a streamlining effect, saving an estimated 1,200 tons of bunker fuel per year
  • A vessel is equipped with a waste heat recovery system, saving up to ten percent of main engine power. This equals the average annual electrical consumption of 5,000 European households.
