56-524: A beam of 59 metres, they are too wide to traverse the Panama Canal , but can easily transit the Suez Canal . One of the class's main design features is its dual 29.68- megawatt (39,800 hp), eight-cylinder, ultra-long stroke two-stroke diesel engines , driving two propellers at a design speed of 19 knots (35 km/h; 22 mph). This class is by design slower than its predecessors, using

84-694: A crew of 13, while the even larger Globe class requires 31 on board. When the class was ordered, no port in the Americas could handle ships of their size. However, the following suitable ports include Shanghai , Ningbo , Xiamen , Qingdao , Yantian , Hong Kong , Tanjung Pelepas , Singapore , and Colombo in Asia, and Rotterdam , Gothenburg , Wilhelmshaven , Bremerhaven , Southampton , London Gateway , Le Havre , Felixstowe , Gdańsk , Antwerp , and Algeciras in Europe. The ships will be too large for

112-565: A strategy known as slow steaming expected to lower fuel consumption by 37% and carbon dioxide emissions per container by 50%. The Triple E design helped Maersk win a "Most Sustainable Ship Operator of the Year" award in July 2011. Maersk plans to use the ships to service routes between Europe and Asia, projecting that Chinese exports will continue to grow. European-Asian trade represents the company's largest market; thus it already has 100 ships serving

140-692: A third group of ten ships would not be exercised. Payment of the ship is "tail-heavy": 40% while the ship is being built, and the remaining 60% paid on delivery. Deliveries were scheduled to begin in 2013. Maersk negotiated a two-year warranty, whereas the standard is one year. Prior to 2010, many Maersk container ships had been built at Maersk's Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark, but Asian builders had become more competitively priced. Maersk had approached several different builders in Asia, having ruled out European shipbuilders on grounds of cost, and Chinese on technological grounds. DSME builds three Triple-Es at

168-414: A time, and it takes little more than a year to produce a ship. Investment in more efficient ships helped Maersk win the "Sustainable Ship Operator of the Year" award from Petromedia Group's on-line publication sustainableshipping.com in July 2011. In 2015, Maersk ordered an additional series of eleven 20,568 TEU second-generation Triple E-class ships, due to be delivered from 2017 onwards. The first ship

196-520: Is derived from the class's three design principles: "Economy of scale, Energy efficiency, and Environmental impact improvement". The ships are 399.2 metres (1,309 ft 9 in) long and 59 metres (193 ft 7 in) wide. While only 3 metres (9 ft 10 in) longer and 4 metres (13 ft 1 in) wider than the Mærsk E class , the Triple E ships are able to carry 2,500 more containers. With

In February and June 2011, Maersk Line awarded Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering two US$ 1.9 billion contracts ($ 3.8bn total) to build twenty ships of this class. The name "Triple E"

252-463: Is the Madrid Maersk . She went on her maiden voyage to Antwerp . Unlike conventional single-engined container ships, the new class of ships has a twin- skeg design: it has twin diesel engines , each driving a separate propeller . Usually, a single engine is more efficient, but using two propellers allows a better distribution of pressure, which increases the propeller efficiency more than

280-564: The A. P. Moller-Maersk Group (Maersk) ordered 10 large container ships from DSME, each with a capacity of 18,000 containers, surpassing the then record holder; the Mærsk E-class at 15,200 containers. The contract is worth $ 1.9bn. The first was to be delivered in 2014. In June 2011, Maersk ordered ten more, for another $ 1.9bn. The new class is called the Triple E class . On December 20, 2011, Daewoo Shipbuilding Marine Engineering won

308-904: The New Panamax -sized locks on the Panama Canal , and their main route is expected to be Asia-Europe (through the Suez Canal ). The draft of the Triple E class is 14.5 metres (48 ft), less than the SuezMax requirement of 55.9 ft (17.0 m) at 59 m (194 ft) beam. Handling equipment at ports was the main constraint on size, rather than the dimensions of canals or straits. The container port handling speed can be 29 moves per hour in Tanger-Med, or 37 in Rotterdam (215 per ship). Anchor and mooring winch systems are being supplied by TTS Marine. Maersk Line planned to use

336-535: The Asia-Europe route, which is their most important. SeaIntel expects about 46 ships with more than 10,000 TEU each to be delivered worldwide in 2013. The construction of newer, larger ships has influenced development plans at ports such as London Gateway and JadeWeserPort in Wilhelmshaven (Germany), and Algeciras and Tanjung had bigger cranes installed. The maximum number of TEUs carried in one trip

364-575: The E class); but this requires more propeller area for the same effect, and such a combination is only possible with two propellers due to the shallow water depth of the desired route. A slower speed of 19 knots is designed, compared to the 23–26 knots of similar ships. The top speed would be 25 knots, but steaming at 20 knots would reduce fuel consumption by 37%, and at 17.5 knots fuel consumption would be halved. These slower speeds would add 2–6 days to journey times. The various environmental features are expected to cost $ 30 million per ship, of which

392-488: The E class, which makes better use of the reach of current terminal cranes. The deckhouse is relatively further forward, whilst the engines are to the rear; similar to CMA CGM 's Explorer class of containerships, also built by Daewoo. The forward deckhouse allows containers to be stacked higher in front of the bridge, further increasing capacity while maintaining forward visibility sufficient to comply with SOLAS regulation V/22. The Triple E-class vessels are operated by

420-951: The Russian Arctic. The ice class Arc7 Yamalmax ships are designed to operate year-round from the Yamal Peninsula and to break ice up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) thick when sailing bow first and up to 2.1 m (6.9 ft) thick in astern direction. The tankers were designed in Finland by Aker Arctic Technology Inc. The South Korean Board of Audit and Inspection found ₩ 1.5 trillion (equivalent to ₩1.53 trillion or US$ 1.35 billion in 2017) of accounting fraud in DSME's books on 15 June 2016. In July, 2016, shares in DSME were suspended from trading, and were announced to be suspended until at least September 28, 2017. After suffering losses of Won3.3tn in 2015 and Won2.7tn in 2016, it

448-463: The WHR is to cost $ 10 million. Carbon dioxide emissions, per container, are expected to be 50% lower than emissions by typical ships on the Asia-Europe route and 20% lower than Emma Maersk . These are the most efficient container ships per TEU in the world. A cradle-to-cradle design principle was used to improve scrapping when the ships end their life. The Madrid Maersk and subsequent ships in

476-533: The disadvantage of using two engines. The engines have waste heat recovery (WHR) systems; these are also used in 20 other Mærsk vessels including the eight E-class ships. The name "Triple E class" refers to three design principles: " Economies of scale, energy efficiency, and environmental impact improvement ". The twin-skeg principle also means that the engines can be lower and further back, allowing more room for cargo. Maersk requires ultra-long stroke two-stroke engines running at 80 rpm (versus 90 rpm in

504-543: The industry. Slow steaming, as used by the Triple E class, is one way of maximizing capacity and reducing fuel consumption. The order for many big ships is a gamble on Maersk's part that Chinese exports will continue to grow. Lack of market growth in the second half of 2012 caused Maersk to postpone a decision on how to use the Triple E class. Five Triple E-class vessels were to be delivered in 2013, with an impact sometime in 2014 with eight or nine Triple E-class vessels operating. Maersk already uses approximately 100 ships on

532-627: The largest single defense contract by a Korean firm; valued at $ 1.07 billion to build three Indonesian submarines . It also would mark the first exports of submarines from South Korea. On 22 February 2012, a £452 million order was placed with DSME for four 37,000 tonne double hulled ' MARS ' fast fleet tankers by Britain's Ministry of Defence for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary . The ships entered service in 2017. The firm built 15 icebreaking LNG carriers commissioned by Yamal LNG which are used to export liquefied natural gas from

560-567: The route. In February 2011 Maersk announced orders for a new "Triple E" family of container ships with a capacity of 18,000 TEU, with an emphasis on lower fuel consumption. They were built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in South Korea ; the initial order, for ten ships, was valued at US$ 1.9 billion (2 trillion Korean Won ); Maersk had options to buy a further twenty ships. In June 2011 Maersk announced that 10 more ships had been ordered for $ 1.9bn, but an option for

616-488: The series use electric motor-generator sets to improve operation. The ships were the longest in the world. They have since been surpassed by other container ships, like the MV ; Barzan , exactly 400 m (1,312 ft) long. The Triple E series and its competitors often leapfrog each other for capacity as the types are updated with new ships larger than their sisters. For a while, Madrid Maersk with 20,568 TEU had

644-540: The ships on routes between Europe and Asia. In 2008, there was a reduction in demand for container transport caused by economic recessions in many countries. This left shipping lines in financial difficulties in 2009, with surplus capacity in their ships. Some ships were laid up or scrapped . However fortunately, there was a sudden resurgence of demand for container transport in 2010; Maersk Line posted its largest ever profit, and orders for new ships increased, leading to fresh concerns about future overcapacity. The market

672-503: The world's largest capacity until superseded by the 21,413 TEU OOCL Hong Kong . The hull is more 'boxy' with a U cross-section compared to the V-shape of Maersk's E class; this allows more containers to be stored at lower levels so, while the Triple E class is only 3 m (9.8 ft) wider and 4 m (13 ft) longer, it can carry 2,500 (16%) more containers. The Triple E class can carry 23 rows of containers compared to 22 of

In 2017, it was uncovered that North Korea may have hacked the company and stole company's blueprints in April 2016. In December 2022, Hanwha Group announced that it would acquire a controlling 49.3 percent stake in Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering worth 2 trillion won (US$ 1.5 billion). The deal

756-499: Was still characterized by overcapacity and decreasing prices for new ships in 2013. China Shipping Container Lines ordered five ships with a capacity of 18,400 TEU from Hyundai Heavy Industries , topping the Triple E class, with delivery from late 2014. United Arab Shipping Company has ordered (also from Hyundai) five slightly larger ships and five ships larger than the Maersk E class. Several other larger ships have been ordered by

784-563: Was supported by the Korea Development Bank in an attempt to improve competition in the Korean shipbuilding industry. In July 2024, Hanwha Ocean became the second Korean shipbuilder after Hyundai Heavy Industries to sign a master ship repair agreement (MSRA) with Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), qualifying it to participate in the U.S. Navy 's MRO business.
