Helesinine EMMA MAERSK tegi rekordi

Maerski uus konteinerlaev EMMA MAERSK on vähemalt 10% suurem ükskõik millisest ujuvvahendist.

Eelmise nädala laupäeval sai AP Moller-Maerski laevatehases Odenses L-203 omale uue nime – EMMA MAERSK. 397-meetrise hiiglase mahutavus on 11000 TEU’d. Samuti võib EMMA MAERSK’i nimetada maailma üheks suuremaks külmutuslaevaks võttes pardale 1000 40-jalast konteinerit.

Laev sai omale nime eelmise aasta detsembris surnud Mærsk McKinney Møller’i naise Emma järgi.

Maersk said the world’s largest containership would set new standards for safety and environment. The hull is coated with environmentally friendly silicon paint below the waterline, which reduces water resistance and cuts the vessel’s fuel consumption by 1,200 tonnes per year.

Laeva hakkab edasi viima 14-silindriline Wärtsilä RT-flex diiselmootor. Oma 53-meetrise laiusega saab EMMA MAERSK peale võtta 22 rida konteinereid. Senini kõige laiem MSC laev võtab peale 18 rida konteinereid.

A 40 ft highcube container is equivalent to 2.24 teu, says AXSLiner. If Maersk’s figure of 11,000 teu was based on highcubes, capacity in terms of standard boxes would equate to about 12,300 teu.

Maersk is thought to have another 10 E-class ships on order at the LindØ yard for delivery up to mid-2009. But later ships in the series could be stretched to as much as 420 m, according to AXSLiner, bringing nominal capacity to 15,000 teu with seven tiers on deck.
