Chart of the week

World’s Largest Containerships

 All the ships of above 18,000 teu

share similar dimensions, each with
a breadth of 58.60-59.00 m allowing
to stow 23 rows of containers on
deck and 21 rows in holds.
 They also have a similar length of
395-400 m, that fits 24 bays of 40’
containers.
 However, each series can stow ei-
ther 11 or 12 standard containers
under deck (depending on hull
depth), as well as a similar number
of tiers on deck, with differing lash-
ing bridge designs. Each also has
different bay distributions due to the
different placement of the deck-
house and engine room and funnel.
