SKOREA-SHIPBUILDING-MAERSK

A photo taken on December 3, 2014 shows workers taking a break outside an under-construction Maersk triple-E class container ship at the Daewoo DSME shipyard in Okpo, 60km south of Busan. At some 400 metres long and capable of carrying over 18,000 containers, triple-E class ships are the largest currently in operation. Danish shipping company Maersk has ordered 20 of the vessels across two contracts totalling some 3.8 billion US dollars, with deliveries to be completed in 2015. Expected to be deployed on Maersk's Asia - Europe routes, the ships use a combination of engine technology and a slower cruising speed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, and are touted as being considerably more efficient than rival classes.
