Estelle Maersk is one of the largest container ships of the world, which has more than 14,500 TEU capacity and operates for the company Maersk Group. The cargo ship is large and modern, combining the best sea practices with modern engineering developments. The container ship Estelle Maersk has length of 397.00 m, beam of 56.00 m and depth of 30.00 m. The vessel has maximum summer draft of 11.40 m, with full cargo capacity on board. The ship has impressive dimensions and improved capacity. The deadweight of Estelle Maersk is 156,907 DWT, while the gross tonnage is 151,687 GRT and the net tonnage is 55,396 tons. The cargo ship was built in 2006 in Odense Steel Shipyard in Odense, Denmark, following the most modern standards of IMO and engineering improvements of the shipbuilder. The container ship Estelle Maersk combines profitability, quality and environmental operations in one really impressive engineering structure. The ship has improved hull design, which increases the cargo capacity and also decreases the water resistance during operations. Also the ship is designed with double hull and double bottom technology, which increase the strength of the construction and make the ship more safety.
The container vessel Estelle Maersk (IMO: 9321495) has also pretty strong and reliable engine and propulsion system. The main engine of the ship is Wartsila 14RT-FLEX96C, which has total output power of 97,924 hp at 95 rpm. The high powerful engine is specially re-designed into the Odense Steel Shipyard to provide higher power with lower fuel consumption. According to the company portfolio, the container ship Estelle Maersk saves more than 1,200 tons of fuel for an year, in comparison with similar size vessels.
