(www.MaritimeCyprus.com) Follow the journey into the construction of these giant vessels. Triple-E's will reduce CO2 emissions by about 35 percent per container moved. See how energy efficiency, economy of scale and the environment inspired their design.
Efficiency
The Triple-E is designed and optimised for lower speeds. The unique hull design, energy-efficient engine and system that uses exhaust gas to produce extra energy to help propel the ship, make the Triple-E unmatched in energy efficiency.
Economy of scale
The Triple-E breaks the world record in container ship capacity without requiring more engine power. This design takes economy of scale to a new level.
Environment
These vessels reduce CO2 emissions by 35% per container moved, compared to industry average on the Asia-Europe trade.
