Edith Mærsk is a container ship and the sister ship of Emma Mærsk. She has capacity for 13,500 containers; calculations from Maersk Line company say that it has only 11,000 TEUs capacity. She can reach up to 15,200 TEUs according to specialists.
Design
The ship has a length of 397.00 m and a beam of 56.00 m. The depth of the Edith Mærsk is 30.00 m and while fully loaded she can reach a draft of 17.5 m. The deadweight of the container ship is 156,907 metric tons, while the gross tonnage is 170,794 gross tons. The ship is powered by a 14-cylinder Wärtsilä RT-flex diesel engine with a power of 80,000 kW. Designers decided that this power is not enough for the ship and added a waste heat recovery system, which increased the power to 90,000 kW. The ship was originally registered in the port of Roskilde, Denmark in spite of higher taxes, but in 2025 was re-flagged to a Singapore registration.
History
Edith Mærsk was built by the Odense Steel Shipyard, Denmark and was handed over to the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group on Saturday 3 November 2007.{{cite web |url=http://media.maersk.com/en/pressreleases/2007/Pages/NewbuildingL209.aspx |title=Maersk Press releases – Namegiving of newbuilding L 209 from Odense Steel Shipyard |date=3 November 2007 |accessdate=5 May 2009}}
