Made in Denmark , it can carry 15000 containers.
The Emma Mærsk is powered by a Wärtsilä-Sulzer 14RTFLEX96-C engine, currently the world's largest single diesel unit, weighing 2,300 tons and capable of 110,000 horsepower (82 MW). The ship has several features to protect the environment. This includes recycling the exhaust, mixed with fresh air, back into the engine for reuse. This not only increases efficiency by as much as 12% but also reduces engine emissions.[2] Instead of biocides, used by much of the industry to keep barnacles off of the hull, a special silicon-based paint is used.[2] This increases the ship's efficiency by reducing drag while also protecting the ocean from biocides that may leak. The silicon paint covering the part of the hull below the waterline is credited for lowering the water drag enough to economize 1200 tonnes of fuel per year.
