Estelle Mærsk is a container ship owned and run by the Mærsk Line. She was, and still is, as of 2009, one of the 8 largest container ships ever built by terms of gross tonnage. Estelle Mærsk has a capacity of 11,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), approximately equal to 1,000 40 feet (12 m) reefer containers, though a maximum capacity of 13,500 TEU is claimed. She is identical to the seven other ships in the Maersk PS-Class, the first built of which was Emma Maersk.
The Estelle Mærsk is 1,302.5 feet (397.0 m) long and has a gross register tonnage of 151,687. Her beam is 183.7 feet (56.0 m). She is powered by a Wärtsilä diesel engine , assisted by a waste heat recovery system, that can produce between 80,000 and 90,000 kilowatts of power. A coat of environmentally safe silicone paint is used on the hull below the waterline, reducing drag and thus increasing speed and saving up to 1,200 tons of fuel per year. Estelle Mærsk was built by Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd. of Denmark in 2006.[1]
