The
large container ships impress us with size, capacity and technology
development. Sovereign Maersk is one of the largest container ships
built ever. The cargo ship is owner and managed by Ap Moller Maersk,
which is one of the largest operators in maritime transport. Sovereign
Maersk has large and impressive measurements and environmental technology.

meters and depth of 21.00 meters. The draft of the cargo ship, when
the ship is fully loaded can reach 14.50 meters. The size of the
vessel is not itself of the owner, but hull design is improved to
have large capacity of cargo. The deadweight of Sovereign Maersk
is 104,690 metric tons and the gross tonnage is 91,560 gross tons.
The capacity of the container ship is 8,160 TEU, divided into 17
containers tiers and 13 rows. The cargo handling on such type of
ship is really hard job, because of the large amount of different
cargo types and destinations, but the improved Maersk Software is
making this job really fast and easy. This is speeding up the work
of the Chief Officer and the operation of the ship. The
cargo ship was built in 1997 in Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark.
