Five ‘World’s Largest Containership’ Titleholders SPOTD
Today’s ship images are of 5 containerships that have been as soon as thought of the world’s largest by TEU carrying capability. The record begins with the mighty Emma Maersk, a part of the Mearsk E-Class, delivered in 2006. While every of those ships would finally be joined by sister vessels of equal dimension, every at one level was thought of the sole titleholder for the ‘world’s largest’.
MV Emma Maersk (2006) – 11,000+ TEU (Updated to fifteen,500 TEU)
MV CMA CGM Marco Polo (2012) – 16,000+ TEU
MV Maersk McKinney Moller (2013) – 18,000+ TEU
MV CSCL Globe (2014) – 19,000 TEU
MV MSC Oscar (2015) – 19,221 TEU
The subsequent ship to assert the title because the world’s largest boxship remains to be but to be decided, however I’d place my cash on it being over 20,000 TEU.
