That's correct, labour here in Europe is very expensive.

If you read this thread carefully pepper_220, you will see that this has already been explained to you after you posed a similar question. Maersk's Odense yard is closing after the last vessel under construction there delivers next year.

A few statements by ML CEO Eivind Kolding at the press conference in London
today:

18,000 teu is the "real" capacity.
The increase in capacity within only modest increases in hull dimensions is
due to a U-shaped hull (versus Emma M

Hi all,

I'm glad you have referred to the new site: http://www.worldslargestship.com which is a site we are very proud of and believe shows the story about the new class in a nice and informative way.

The construction of this site is the reason why we had to put the project with the fleet list on hold, which a lot of you have been so kind to share pictures for. I'm looking forward to send you the link to that new site when it is launched.

Regards,
Sandra

is there any possibility that they would change the design in next 20 boxships? Maersk has not ruled out even larger ships in the future should these prove feasible

Yeah, but that's still a secret. Those ones will be longer than 470 metres.
But pls be quiet don't talk about this outside this community.

Have fun

Why don't you refer to all the publicity material so far given out my Maersk? If the answer isn't there, it's because the detail hasn't been made public yet. Better still, phone Maersk directly rather than bombarding this site with questions no-one can, or will, answer.

When Maersk developed the K class at 318 metres, this was modified by adding 2 extra 40' bays into the design which then became the 347m "S" class. Further modifications took place to the "S" class and the result was the 367m "G" class.(although with the G class, the modifications were more than just adding length)

With this previous evolving of a class, I would think it is highly likely this may happen to the Triple E's

as this kind of development, next step will be another 20-30m`s longer ?
