Ebba Mærsk

Ebba Maersk is a container ship owned by the Danish shipping company A. P. Moller-Maersk Group. She is the fifth of the Mærsk E-class, and at the time of delivery she and her seven sister ships were among the largest container ships ever built.[1] She has a total TEU capacity of 11,000 TEU 14-ton containers by Maersk definition; however, with standard ratings she can hold 14,770 containers.[2] This rating goes by physical space rather than weight. Her beam is 56 m (184 ft), her length 397 m (1,302 ft), and she has a deadweight tonnage of 156,907. In May 2010, she was reported with 15,011 TEU[3] in Tangier, Morocco, the highest equivalent number of any vessel.

gollark: Anyway, your arguments are unconvincing. I will now explain briefly why politics is unimportant.
gollark: Only ironically, such that I was not wrong while doing so.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Just because its evidentiality wasn't evident to you doesn't mean it was unevident.
