World's Largest Container Ship

Описание: #containership
MSC Gulsun, World's largest container ship – has introduced a new class of sustainable container shipping, with the lowest carbon footprint by design, at 7.49 grams of CO2 emissions to move 1 ton of cargo 1 nautical mile.

With a width of 61.5 meters and a height of 33.2 meters, the unit can carry 23,756 20ft containers and represents the worlds largest container ship built for the maritime industry to date.

MSC Gulsun is equipped with a next-generation smart dispensing system and exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers).

The vessel is equipped with more than 2,000 refrigerated containers, boosting the trade of food, drink, pharmaceutical and other chilled and frozen items between Asia and Europe.

While continuously increasing its TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit, the size of a regular container) capacity to meet the growing demand, MSC operates a modern, green fleet and is investing heavily in low-carbon technologies and extensive new-build and retrofit programmes to boost performance and minimise our environmental impact.
