Maersk M-class container ship

Cargo and Merchant Vessels

The Maersk M class is a series of six container ships built by Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark for Maersk Line, with a maximum theoretical capacity that Wikipedia puts at around 11,008 twenty-foot equivalent units. The ships were delivered between March 2008 and March 2009 under yard numbers L211 to L216 and were first named Margrethe, Marchen, Maren, Mette, Marit and Mathilde Maersk; Maersk renamed them in 2014 with names beginning Ge or Gu, such as Gerner Maersk and Gunde Maersk. FreightWaves reports of the time call the Mette Maersk the fourth ship of a series of six in the M class, built by the Odense yard, and give the ships a nominal capacity of 7,000 TEU, which is a lower figure than the one Wikipedia now lists.
