The
vessel MOL Creation is not so large ship, but it is quite modern.
The vessel had deadweight of 89,370 metric tons, with length of
316 meters, width of 46 meters and draught of approximately 14.6
meters. The draft, while the ship is fully loaded is about 12.9
meters. The ship has capacity to carry 8,100 TEUs and the system
of stowing and calculating containers is well improved on board
of MOL Creation. The ship is one of the series of improved safety
and environmental impact of the MOL ships, and this newly built
vessel is developing the owner strategy and idea. The ship was the
first MOL vessel, built from high tensile E Grade steel, with improved
strength YP460MPa, which is equals to 47 kg per square mm. This
improves the vessel design, reliability, environment and also ensure
the hull integrity. The ship is equipped with Mitsubishi Engine,

CMA
CGM Medea is one Post_Panamax container ship, with capacity of 9,415
TEUs. The ship was built in the year 2006, by the ship-yard of Hyundai
Heavy Industries. The vessel has a length of 350 meters and a beam

Medea is 107,711 metric tons and the net tonnage is 50,109 metric
tons. These large measurements are making the ship one of the largest
built ever, and this is interesting for us, because we like large
engineer buildings. CMA CGM Medea is operated by the ship-owner
CMA CGM and China Shipping. The vessel has 3 sister ships, with
names CMA CGM Rigoletto, CMA CGM Norma and CMA CGM Fidelio.... date: 13th June, 2008
The
sister-ships of Emma Maersk are 3 are we already wrote a post about
Eleonora Maersk, and now we will claim the other ship Edith Mearsk.
This container vessel is one of the largest four container ships
of the world. The capacity of the ship is 11 thousand containers,
according to calculations of Maersk Group. But Maersk restrictions
in loading and container stowage are even stronger the IMo ones.
That is why according to IMO Edith Maersk (and her sisterships)
can carry 13,500 TEUs and that is fantastic. The container ship
Edith Maersk is 397 meters long and has width of 56 meters. The
depth of the ship is 30 meters and the full deadweight is 156,907
meters. And this is really large ship, because I believe that this
vessel is amazing if you see it with your eyes... date: 10th June, 2008

engineer outfit. The vessel is from type Post-Panamax and this means
that this vessel is the largest allowed sized ship, which can pass
through Panama channel.... date: 10th June, 2008
