Thread: Anyone know the jerkoff who drives this boat?

    He is late with my imported goods.
    How we get all our stuff from China. Get a load of this ship - 15,000 containers and a 207' beam! Look at the 13 crew size for a ship longer than a US aircraft carrier that has a complement of 5,000 men and officers. That 207' beam means it was NOT designed for the Panama or Suez Canal, it's strictly transpacific. The cruise speed, 31 knots means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive carrying perishable goods. This ship was built in sections, the sections floated together and then welded. The command bridge is higher than a 10-story building and has 11 crane rigs that can operate simultaneously.
    Emma Maersk:
    Country of origin - Denmark
    Length - 1,302 ft
    Width - 207 ft
    Net cargo - 123,200 tons
    Engine - 14 in-line cylinders diesel engine (110,000 BHP) Cruise Speed - 31 knots
    Cargo capacity - 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 ft container)
    Crew - 13 people
    First Trip - Sep 8, 2006
    Construction cost - $145,000,000
    Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year.

    Looks like it has a surfacing propeller. No wonder it's fast. Wonder what kind of rooster tail that baby throws? :sqeyes:

    The ship was empty Hence the propeller out of water.
