Maersk built 7 high-speed container ships

According to the Clarkson Ship Registry's reference to the Lloyd's Register of Ships, Moller-Maersk had previously commissioned seven 4170-bin B-type container ships built by the Volkswerft Stralsund shipyard in Germany, with a maximum speed of 29.2 liters, reaching the civilian ship warships. High speed effect. If the incident is true, the seven ships will become the world's fastest container ship.

It is understood that the seven ships have a tonnage of 51,000 tons each, and their engine horsepower is enough to promote a vessel that is twice as large as this ship type, and the daily fuel consumption will reach 260 tons. It is reported that Maersk will send these new ships to provide express service from Far East to New York, but the company has refused to respond to the news.

If the incident is true, then Maersk’s move runs counter to the recent move by shipowners to slow down the ship to save fuel.

At present, the world's fastest container ship is the number of eight 6555-box ships built by Hyundai Heavy Industries for Hanjin Shipping, each with a top speed of 27 miles per hour. According to the data, as early as six years ago, Scandinavian Airlines in Switzerland has developed a total of two "pencil" high-speed container ships, one of which was built at the Shanghai Hudong Shipyard and equipped with a medium-speed engine as a prototype. It is launched on the online route from Asia to Northern Europe. It only relies on one or two terminals in the middle, and is mainly semi-direct. However, after using the shipowner, it is found that the engine is prone to heat during long-term operation, and the technical problem cannot be solved.
