Ebba named

Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark unveiled its latest newbuilding, an 11,000 TEU container vessel, for the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group. Like her four predecessors, ?Ebba Maersk? will be part of the series of the world?s largest container vessels and, like her sister vessels, sets new standards for safety and environment.

Environmentally friendly silicone paint covers the hull of the vessel below the waterline which reduces water resistance and cuts the vessel?s fuel consumption by 1,200 tonnes per year. With her 14-cylinder Wärtsilä RT-flex diesel engine which develops 110,000 BHP, the newbuilding, when delivered, will enter Maersk Line?s worldwide service.
