Maersk container carrier

Bonjour à tous

A beautiful piece of mechanics, with exceptional engine performance.

Crew 13 people !! ??? so soon they will do it on unmanned autopilot, luckily it doesn't carry oil.

Wow that can only be impressive for any self-respecting mechanic, is he the biggest in the world I think?

On the other hand, for the 120 tonnes payload, we are still far from the 000 tonnes of super tankers ... I didn't think there was so much difference ...

430m long and 68m wide, this makes a huge ship.

The old French aircraft carriers (Foch and Clémenceau) were 265m long and 40aine wide and weighed 30000 tonnes. They embarked 40 planes and 2000 men in operations with a speed of 32 knots.

The American aircraft carriers referred to in the slideshow are of similar dimensions to this container carrier, but much lighter, the purpose not being the loading capacity but the strategic operability.

Normally a container carrier is designated by its carrying capacity in Twenty Foot Equivalent containers or TEUs.
The Emma Maersk announced for 11.000 TEUs. it is one of the largest ships in the world but the capacity of the Emma Maersk, underestimated, would rather be, according to specialists, between 13.000 and 15.000 TEU

The competitor CMA-CGM is also engaged in this race for gigantism. www.meretmarine

For information, a 20-foot container (approximately 6Mx2.5x2.5) can carry 22 tonnes of freight on the road (30 tonnes by rail or by special dispensation).
It makes them Chinoiseries which flood the developed countries ...
On the other hand the ships which leave for China have the majority of their empty boxes ... The prices of the freight on these transits are ridiculous ...

32800 tonnes for PA Foch and Clemenceau, 32 knots yes, while the Charles de Gaulle only reaches 27 knots making it the slowest PA in the world as under-powered (powered by 2 submarine boilers .. . ~ 46hp less than the 000 old ones !!!): speed is an essential parameter for air operations in zero or light wind ...
This emma maersk doc is unfortunately full of errors, its cruising speed is 26 knots and not 31 ..., it can pass the Suez Canal and the part designated "camshaft" is the crankshaft ... Note that the engine is a 2 stroke ... There are now 6 ships of the same type ...

It's Caribou translation! We see that the doc was made by a Quebecois Hihihihi

Inordinate !!!

I saw the engine consumption ... 6300 L per hour ...

As an engine fan, the block and pistons are impressive.

But still a few thousand tonnes of CO2 foolishly released ...

The explosion of maritime traffic, if it has an economic logic, is an ecological nonsense ...

Ben compared to the ton transported there is no cleaner than sea transport ... and by far ...

Let's estimate it:

6300L / h for 120 Tons useful for 000 knots (chatam you correct me if necessary).

26 knots = 26 * 1,852 km / h = 48km / h.

We therefore obtain a "specific" consumption of: 6300/48 * 120 = 000 L / T.km.

Compare with a heavy goods vehicle: payload 30 Ton (fully loaded), consumption 20 to 30 L / 100, i.e. a maximum CS of: 30/100 * 30 = 0,01 L / T.km.

A Super Cargo therefore consumes roughly 10 times less than a truck. I'm surprised I thought it was even less ...

Now that's not a reason to defend the increase in traffic in absolute value ... but it was a story remark to put a little into perspective ...

By that I meant that maritime traffic, like all the others, should be limited as long as the source of motive energy is not entirely renewable (directly or indirectly ...)

We are once again in complete agreement

maybe the containers are "full of emptiness" compared to oil which is a liquid and occupies better space (the liquids take the form of the vases which contain them ...)
otherwise if it is the new container carrier formats they are 14000 containers compared to the 8000 of the previous generation !!
