It&#8217;s dimensions are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Length: 400 metres (1312 feet)<\/li>\n<li>Width: 59 metres (194 feet)<\/li>\n<li>Height: 73 metres (240 feet)<\/li>\n<li>Draft: 14 metres (48 feet)<\/li>\n<li>Capacity: 18&#8217;000 small cargo units (TEU &#8211; Twenty-feet-Equivalent-Unit)<\/li>\n<li>Deadweight tonnage: 160&#8217;000 tonnes<\/li>\n<li>Speed: up to 25 knots (46 km\/h) &#8211; Optimum: 19 knots (37 km\/h)<\/li>\n<li>Two ultra-long-stroke diesel engines delivering 64&#8217;000 kW (86.000 HP) power<\/li>\n<li>Two 4-blade propellers with 9.8 metres (31.5 feet) diameter<\/li>\n<li>At 17 knots only half the fuel is needed<\/li>\n<li>Double-hull construction<\/li>\n<li>Price: 190 million US$ per ship (10 ordered, 20 planned until 2015)<\/li>\n<li>Operation area: Europe-Asia, Suez channel (USA ports don&#8217;t support draft!)<\/li>\n<li>Europe ports: Rotterdam, Gothenburg, Bremerhaven and Felixstowe<\/li>\n<li>Asia ports: Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Yantian, Hong Kong, and Singapore<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, the new vessel is just 2 metres shorter than a quarter-mile and thus stil a very impressive vessel. The Triple-E container ship is at the moment the biggest man-made ship and the most-efficient and environment-friendly cargo vessel to date!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5_triple-e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5055\" title=\"5_triple-e\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5_triple-e-640x457.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5_triple-e-640x457.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5_triple-e-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5_triple-e-1920x1372.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/5_triple-e.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>What a HUGE vessel! &#8211; Imagine a 20-storey-skyscraper besides!<\/p>\n<p>So watch the entire build here:<br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-5053-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Building-the-World_s-Largest-Ship-in-76-seconds.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Building-the-World_s-Largest-Ship-in-76-seconds.mp4\">https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Building-the-World_s-Largest-Ship-in-76-seconds.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wondered how these huge freight carriers, which have a length of more than 1000 feet, are built and then watered?
