Maersk Triple-E Vessels are both energy efficient and sustainable

Maersk Line is working with Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. to design and develop 10 Triple-E ships, which will be the largest, and most energy efficient container vessels in the world. Understanding their responsibility to society and the environment, Maersk developed the concept of the Triple E vessels with carbon footprint reduction in mind. The innovative technologies used in the vessels will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than half, per container moved. This will result in costs savings and increase efficiency as well.The details of the project can be found at worldslargestship.com.

The signing ceremony for the project took place in Tokyo where twenty such vessels were ordered. For Maersk the signing marked an expansion of operations and trade in the region that matches their corporate vision. Some of the benefits of the Triple-E ships include; enhanced capacity, energy efficiency, sustainable development (http://www.worldslargestship.com/sustainability/) and increased competitive advantage.
