Great moments in naval architecture & marine engineering

The 18,000 TEU Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller, lead ship of Maersk's Triple E class, entered service as the world’s largest containership on July 2, 2013. The groundbreaking ship led a string of ultra-large containership deliveries that would continue to escalate in size in the years following. Today, the 21,413 TEU OOCL Hong Kong holds the world’s largest title.
