The Triple E class is a family of very large container ships with a capacity of more than 18,000 TEUs, which are owned and operated by Maersk Line. The name “Triple E” is derived from the class’s three design principles: “Economy of scale, Energy efficiency, and Environmental impact improvement”.
Which ports can handle Eee vessels?
Triple-E (EEE) stands for economy of scale, energy-efficient and environmentally improved vessel. The vessels operate in the Europe-Asia route, with stops at Shanghai, Ning-bo, Xiamen, Yantian and Hong Kong ports.
How many containers can the Triple E carry?
18,000 containers
The Triple-E’s can carry more than 18,000 containers, piled 20 high, with 10 above deck and 10 below. But they can sail only between Europe and Asia, as their nearly 194-foot wide hull is too large to fit into American ports or to slip through the Panama Canal.

Measuring 400 meters long, 59 meters wide and 73 meters high, the Triple E is taller than a 20-story building and 12 times longer than a blue whale. Maersk has 20 Triple E vessels on order at a cost of $190 million each.
