Evelyn
Maersk is among the largest container ships of the world, together
with her sisters. The ship has amazing capacity of 13,500 teu, according
to IMO calculations. The ship is property of Maersk Line and has
deadweight of 156,907 metric tons. The container ship was built
in the high quality ship-yard in Odense Steel Shipyard, Denmark
and completed in 2007. The ship is modern, quality and reliable.
Evelyn Maersk has length of 397.00 meters and beam of 56.00 meters.
The container vessel has depth of 30.00 meters and draft, when fully
loaded, of 15.50 meters. Evelyn Maersk is really among the most
modern vessels built ever and has all the necessary equipment to
be optimized for profits of the company. The cargo ship is property
of the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group and has amazing measurements and
capacity for cargo. According to official information the ship is
having capacity for 11,000 containers 10,000 twenty foot units and
1,000 forty foot units. The information is from the official issue
of the company and based on company calculations. The information
from IMO is claiming the capacity of Evelyn Maersk is 13,500 teu
and some rumors even increase the number to 14,700 teu. The container
ship Evelyn Maersk is among the largest in this class of cargo vessels,
together with her sister ships – Emma Maersk and Eleonora
Maersk. The containers are handled on board on 22 rows wide. It
is interesting to mention that the container ship is operated by
only 13 crew members – 1 ordinary seaman, 3 able seamen, 1
oiler, 3 engine officers, 3 navigation officers, chief officer and
the Master. The number of the crew is quite low, mostly because
of the modern machinery, computerized monitoring and quality machinery.
The container ship Evelyn Maersk is among the most modern vessels,
built ever. The ship is having two different ECDIS systems for easy
navigation and maneuvering.
The cargo handling and stowing programs are decreasing the work
of cargo officer and arrange the container positions based on current
navigation plan. The engine room is fully computerized for easy
monitoring and no-watch sailing. With one simple word, the ship
is made to me modern, profitable and of course – environmental.
The main engine installed on board of Evelyn Maersk
is Wartsila diesel unit with own power of 80,000 kW. The new heat
recovery system is producing more than 10,000 kW power and provide
it to propulsion system. In this case the total power from the main
engine on Evelyn Maersk is 90,000 kW. This power is enough for the
vessel to reach maximum speed of 26.0 knots. The economy speed of
Evelyn Maersk is a little bit lower – 25.2 knots. The economy
speed is used for the ship, when underway using engines with cargo
on board. With this speed the ship is having lowest possible fuel
consumption, while loaded. The ship-builders of Evelyn Maersk succeeded
to decrease water resistance under the waterline, and with this
innovation, they reduced the fuel consumption with more than 1,200
tons per year. This is important for the ship-owner, because with
such innovation the expenses for the ship are reducing. date: 17 July, 2010
