The container ships of the Triple-E class of the Danish shipping company Mærsk Line are among the largest ships of their kind in the world. The name Triple-E is derived from the three maxims on which the design was based: “Economy of scale” , “Energy efficient” (German “ energy efficiency ”) and “Environmentally improved” (German “improved environmental friendliness”).

procurement and use

first generation

The Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller on the first call in Bremerhaven

The customer for the series of ULCS units is the Copenhagen -based shipping company Mærsk Line. At the end of February 2011, ten ships were initially ordered from the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) for delivery between 2013 and 2015. The price is around US$190 million per unit. On June 27, 2011, the option to build the second lot, consisting of a further ten ships, was exercised in Tokyo. However, Maersk did not exercise an option limited to February 2012 to build a further ten ships of the type.

The ships are used on the route between Asia and Europe, as there are currently no ports in North America that are suitable for ships of this size. The only German port that ships can call at fully loaded is the JadeWeserPort in Wilhelmshaven , which opened in 2012 and in which Maersk has a 30 percent stake.

The lead ship of the series, the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller , was named after the chairman of the Mærsk Group, who died in 2012. The christening took place in South Korea on June 14, 2013, and the ship was delivered on July 2, 2013. Two weeks later, the ship started its maiden voyage from Busan (South Korea) to Rotterdam and Bremerhaven .

On January 26, 2015, the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller sailed from Algeciras to Tanjung Pelepas with a load of 18,168 TEU, the largest number of containers ever transported by a ship.

Second generation

In June 2015, a further eleven vessels of a revised Triple-E design of approximately 206,000 deadweight tons and approximately 19,630 TEU were ordered from DSME for delivery between April 2017 and May 2018. There are also options for up to six more ships.

The second generation ships are essentially identical to the first generation ships. All ships have a length of 399 meters. The decisive difference between the ships of the first generation and the second generation lies in the different draft . The ships of the second generation have a draft of 16.5 meters, the ships of the first generation 15.5 meters.

Among other things, due to the greater permissible draft of the ships of the second generation, their carrying capacity increases from 194,153 tdw to 210,019 tdw. The maximum number of slots was increased from 18,270 TEU to 20,586 TEU.

The last ship, the Maastricht Mærsk , was delivered in January 2019.

Shipwreck Mumbai Maersk

Salvage sketch of the emergency command

On the night of February 2, 2022, the Mumbai Mærsk ran aground off Wangerooger Plate ( Lage ) . The ship was en route from Maasvlakte to Container Terminal Bremerhaven . At around 1 a.m. on February 4, the Sovereign , the Neuwerk and six other tugs were able to pull the Mumbai Mærsk back into the deep waters. The Mumbai Mærsk then proceeded under its own power and accompanied by a tug to the CT Bremerhaven, which it reached around 2 p.m. The cause of the accident is still being determined.

technology

A number of innovations and details are noteworthy in terms of shipbuilding , which have already been used, for example, in the somewhat smaller series of the CMA-CGM-Christophe-Colomb class . Unlike the majority of conventional container ships, the deckhouse is positioned far forward, which allows for an improved line of sight and thus greater deck loading in the fore ship area. Among other things, the bunker tanks are arranged below the superstructure in order to comply with MARPOL regulation 12A, which has been in force since August 2007.

Size comparison with other ships

In addition, the machinery was arranged as far aft as possible, which meant that shorter and thus space-saving drive shafts could be used, which in turn made additional container storage possible. The twin-engine design of the Triple-E class allowed the installation of two larger-diameter slow-spin propellers, which have higher efficiency than a faster-spin single propeller. The two Triple-E propellers have a slightly larger diameter and together more than twice the propeller area of ​​the Emma Mærsk- class ships' single propeller . In addition, the Triple-E class is designed for economical, slower driving ( slow steaming ). Compared to the maximum speed of 25 knots, the fuel savings should be 20 percent at 22.5 knots, 37 percent at 20 knots and 50 percent at 17.5 knots. The ship's engines are designed for an optimum speed of 19 knots. On July 7, 2011, Maersk received the Sustainable Shipping Operator of the Year Award for the Triple-E class, among other things . The exhaust gases from the two main engines generate steam in exhaust gas boilers, which is used to drive a steam turbine to a generator ( exhaust gas utilization on ships ). The electrical energy can be fed back into the drive system. Overall, fuel consumption is said to be reduced by about 20 percent compared to the ships of the Emma Mærsk class (that would be 2.1 liters of heavy fuel oil per 14 tonne container per 100 kilometers at 24 knots speed).

With the exception of the ship's length and draft, the characteristic values ​​of the double -hull ships are in some cases significantly higher than those of the container ships built to date. With a length of almost 400 meters, a width of 59 meters and a height of 73 meters, a hull shape with a relatively large block coefficient was chosen. With a slot capacity of 18,270 TEU, the units of the Triple-E class exceed the previously largest container ships of the CMA-CGM-Christophe Colomb class by 13% or 2220  TEU . In addition, with a capacity of 1800 refrigerated containers (after the ships of the Cap-San class (2100 connections) of the Hamburg-Süd shipping company ), they are the second largest refrigerated container ships worldwide (as of mid-2013).

The ships have 22 holds , each of which is closed with 4 pontoon hatch covers. Below deck, 21 rows of containers can be stowed side by side, on deck there are 23. On deck, a total of 24 40-foot bays are arranged one behind the other, between which there are lashing platforms ( English lashing bridges ) from which the containers are lashed down. They have the unusual height of four containers and also stabilize the load. The hatch covers and lashing points are designed in such a way that 20 or 40 foot containers can be loaded, and 45 foot containers if required. Typically, six to ten containers are stacked on top of each other on deck.
