From 2013 to 2015, container ships of Danish shipping company Maersk Line held the title for the largest self-propelled vessels in the world. Since then, no container ship surpassed them in length of 399 meters (1,309 feet), which is limited by regulations of the Suez Canal Authority; but there are ships that can carry more than 20,568 containers. Currently, 31 Triple-E’s serve the trading routes between Europe’s harbors and the East Asia. The name derives of the three principles that guided the design of the ships in this class, economy of scale, energy efficient, and environmentally improved. Thus, it was interesting to design the model as everything is built to serve its rational requirements rather than aesthetic goals; and I tried to reflect the fact, that no component of this type of vessel is unaffected by the mandatory principle of carrying as much cargo as possible within the given constraints.

Draft: 16 m
Height: 73 m
Displacement: 55,000 tonnes
Capacity: 20,568 twenty foot container
Installed power: 84,000 hp (combined)
Max. speed: 25 kn or 46 km/h

On a 25-day-journey from Shanghai to Rotterdam the transportation of one container aboard the fully booked Munich Maersk consumes a total of 97 liters of heavy oil.
The model consists of 1,797 pieces, is built in scale 1:650, measures 60.8 centimeters from bow to stern, and has a capacity of 1,714 standard brick container (unfortunately, the model does not feature a hollow hull to further increase the capacity).
An unidentified BR (Derby) Class 127 4-car suburban dmu consisting of Class 127 & 186 in Rail Blue with all-yellow front ends leaving St Pancras on a Bedford service on a very wet day in August, 1982. These dmu's should have been replaced by then new Class 316 emu's by that time but an industrial dispute over 1-man operation delayed their introduction.
