Maersk C-class container ship

Cargo and Merchant Vessels

The Maersk C class is a series of eight container ships built by Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark for Maersk Line. Wikipedia gives a maximum theoretical capacity of around 9,640 twenty-foot equivalent units, and its ship list runs from the A.P. Moller, delivered in June 2000, to the Clementine Maersk, delivered in November 2002, under yard numbers L177 to L184. The last three ships were built with a slightly different design from the first five, being slightly wider with a taller bridge. Between 2011 and 2016 five of the ships were upgraded at the Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry yard in China. A FreightWaves report of November 2002 on the Clementine Maersk confirms that the Odense yard built it as a post-Panamax containership and quotes the group as giving about 6,600 TEU, an earlier capacity figure than the Wikipedia one.
