The new innovation of ship which makes our jaws wide open "THE TRIPLE E SHIPS"

The name Triple E ships is named for three principle

1. Economy of sale
2. Energy efficient
3. Environmentally improved

These ships are expected to be the largest container ships. The ship will be 400 meters (1,312 ft) long and 59 meters(194 ft) wide. The triple E ships will be able to carry 2,500 more containers, with a draft of 14.5 meters(48 ft) they will be too deep to use any port in the America or cross the panama canal, but will be able to sail in suez canal when sailing between Europe and Asia.

Totally if the container is stacked on top of each other they would touch the stratosphere -29 miles above the earth.If they are loaded on the single train it would need to be 68 miles long.

                                                              Triple E

It uses dual 32 megawatt (43,000 hp) ultra-long stroke-two stroke diesel engine.driving two propeller at a designed speed of 19 knots.

SHIP AND SPEED MATTERS:

                               An energy efficient engines propels the ship.The engine operates at low propeller revolution and uses large propeller.with this combination less propulsive power is required.

BREAKING THE RECORD AGAIN:

                              Maersk line breaks its own record by inventing triple E ships.

1. IN 1996 Regina maersk Class has 7,100 TUE
2. IN 1997 Sovereign maersk class has 8,100 TUE
3. IN 2006 Emma maersk class has 15,500 TUE
4. IN 2013 Maersk triple E has18,000 TUE

                               Its not easy to compare this vessel see fig below

IN case of environment is concern  it proves that it emits only 3 gm of co2 is emitted by transporting 1 ton if goods in 1 km.

It is noted that 20 ships had been ordered.
