Maersk A-class container ship

Cargo and Merchant Vessels

The Maersk A class is a series of six container ships that Odense Steel Shipyard built in Denmark for Maersk Line. The Wikipedia article gives them a maximum theoretical capacity of around 8,272 twenty-foot equivalent units. The six ships, Axel, Anna, Arnold, Arthur, Adrian and Albert Maersk, carry yard numbers L185 to L190 and were delivered between March 2003 and August 2004. A trade report on the delivery of the Arnold Maersk in 2003 grouped it with the Axel Maersk and Anna Maersk as post-Panamax containerships built at Odense and described it as belonging to an S-class series with a stated capacity of 6,600 TEU, so the class label and the capacity differ between sources.
