Hi,

The Suez Canal is currently between 80-135m wide and approx 20m deep.

It is estimated that a 18,000teu container ship will be around 60m wide and have a draft of around 21m and therefore classed as Post-Suezmax as they will be to deep to transit the canal at present.

With the intended increase of the cross-section breadth and depth of the Suez Canal over the next decade it is thought that a 18,000teu vessel will then be able to transit the canal.

It should also be noted that a future 18,000teu container ship with a draft of 21 m would require existing harbors to be dredged,currently only Rotterdam & Singapore are deep enough.

regards
Andrew

hi andrew

Yes and no on the passing of the Suez canal
I sailed containerships and I was in 95% of times not of draft marks.
the 21 m would be fully loaded. Therefore only tonnagewise fully loaded
the vessel could not pass the Suez Canal.

How many ports will be willing to spent the millions that's needed to deepen their harbours to a depth of 21 meters. The Emma Maersk class can carry about 14,000 teu and measure 398 meters and a widht of 56,6
The big MSC's can carry the same amount and are 366 meters by 51 meters My guess is MSC type ships with Emma Maersk dimensions.

Cheers Fred

Maersk Line has always led the way in container ship design and size, although the economic situation isnt the best at the moment shipping lines must look to the future.

It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds, one thing though what ever teu capacity is quoted by Maersk you can be sure that the vessels will actually be able to carry more as they always under declare the capacity of their vessels, in the late 90's Regina Maersk and her sistersuwere quoted as being 6000teu but are nearer to 8000teu, the PS class ie Emma Maersk etc were quoted as 12000teu but are nearer to 14000teu.

 ;D aaahh... the 'guessing-game'  ;D

So much fun for those who KNOW...  ;)

As for the declared capacity... Other lines quote a capacity based on a maximum no. of EMPTY slots. MSK line quotes a capacity based on a max. no of 'full' units to load. The exact load of that average container has slipped my mind...
Let's suffice to say that MSK is now in the process of moving towards what the 'other' lines estimate and the PS-class is now classified as 14.000 teu on MSK's website.
My imaginary friend thinks you have serious mental problems...

The exact load of the average container is quoted as 14 tonnes by many industry sources. Maersk may be different however. They usually are  :-\

The Lindo yard is closing down in 2012, so these ships will definitely NOT be built at Lindo.

PS-class could only fit in Lindo-docks with 4 meters to spare. Larger ships would have definitely been a no-go anyway.

Not to worry,a graving drydock can easily be lengthened when you have cheap land to dig into,nearby. We have a repair yard not far from where I live where they repeatedly increasd the length of the drydock when the need arised...

All E-class vessels will go into a dry dock near Hong Kong, so there are indeed more docks which can handle this size of vessel.
