Maersk Line recently took delivery of M/S Emma M'rsk built by Odense Steel Shipyard. The Emma M'rsk is the first in a new series of PS-class vessels and is one of the most environmentally friendly container vessels ever built. As part of Maersk Line's fleet of modern container vessels, she will set new standards for global shipping, creating further opportunities for our customers.

  • High-scale automation and complete monitoring by advanced computer systems. Therefore, the vessel can be operated by a crew of just 13
  • Waste heat recovery system, reducing fuel consumption and emissions
  • Protected fuel tanks located in the centre of the double hull
