An official website has been created to follow the journey into the contruction of Triple-E. These giant vessels will reduce CO2 emissions by about 50% per container moved. On the dedicated Tripl-E website, you may see how energy efficiency, economy of scale and the environment inspired their design.
You may also view video produced by the Discovery Channel showing every phase of buidling the 400-meter long Triple-E vessel; from the design of the vessels unique hull to the construction of the Triple-E’s enormous engines and propellers, from the environmental improvements and safety systems to the ship’s naming ceremony and maiden voyage on the Asia-Europe route. All angles relating to the ships design, build and launch will be covered – with many sequences in 3D. The six episodes by the Discovery Channel will be aired on television in November 2013 and they will be available on Triple-E website.
Triple- E ships will set a new industry benchmark for size and fuel efficiency. Four-hundred metres long, 59 metres wide and 73 metres high, the Triple-E is the largest vessel of any type on the water today. Its 18,000 TEU (twenty-foot container) capacity is large enough to hold 111 million pairs of sneakers. Triple- E will be delivered to Maersk;s fleet on June 28, 2013.
