most powerful engine in largest containership

This engine is build for and used in the new series of container ships Maersk is taking into service. The first ship "Emma Maersk", 397 meters long, already on her way to join the Europe Far East service. There will be 11 more ships of the same size coming into service in the next years. She can accommodate over 11000 by 20' containers and has a service speed of 24 + knots. She has a dwt of 115.700 and can take 22 rows of containers. This is 4 more rows compared to other ships build so far.
