Hi Guys
New to Ship Sim & the Forum so just having a look around and I have no idea as to how to 'build' a ship yet. Having seen the pervious thread about the Emma Maersk details of her are below (would love to see her on Ship Sim!)
Quoted from an e-mail from a freind of mine...
"Now I know how Wal Mart gets all its stuff from China. By the World's Largest Cargo Ship. Get a load of this ship! 15,000 containers and a 207' beam !!!!!! And look at the crew size for a ship longer than a US aircraft carrier which has a complement of 5,000 men and officers.
Think it's big enough? Notice that 207' beam means it was NOT designed for the Panama or Suez canal. It is strictly transpacific. Check out the 'cruise speed'. 31 knots means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive carrying perishable goods.
This ship was built in three, perhaps as many as five sections. The sections floated together and then welded.
The ship is named Emma Maersk.
The command bridge is higher than a 10 store building and has 11 crane rigs that can operate simultaneously.
Additional info:
Country of origin - Denmark
Length - 1,302 ft
Width - 207 ft
Net cargo - 123,200 tons
Engine - 14 in-line cylinders diesel engine (110,000 BHP) Cruise Speed - 31 knots, Cargo capacity - 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 ft3 container)
Crew - 13 people First Trip - Sept. 08, 2006 Construction cost - US $145,000,000+
Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year. "
Good luck with the project!

It's huge,i can tell you.

-
MY GOD!!!! :o LOOK AT THE SIZE ON THAT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's fast too, 31 knots!! for something that big.
That would be Brilliant on Ship Sim! ;D
-
Greetings,
Yes, this would be great,however Maersk does not give the permission to use any of her vessels in the game.
So it has to stay,on the drawningboard,for the moment.

I remember someone saying that P&O wouldn't allow Vstep to put one of their liners on SS, i don't see what the problem is. :(
-
Is that one of the ferries or one of the cruise ships?
-
I think the Pride of Rotterdam,has become a green light from P&O.Otherways name en logo where not allowed in the game.
If you putt a vessel in the game without permission of the company's,you can have problems with the copyrights.That's the reason.

locutus-mouse :
I love the emma maersk she is a wonderful ship.
I was going to model it my self about a week ago, however, i thought i shouldm finish off the other 2 modles i am working on at the moment.
I know that Maersk doesn't allow it but i will model the ship without the Maersk Line Logo on it

Have they fixed the damage from the fire on this ship. ;)

Hey guys
Think it's big enough? Notice that 207' beam means it was NOT designed for the Panama or Suez canal. It is strictly transpacific. Check out the 'cruise speed'. 31 knots means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive carrying perishable goods.
This ship was built in three, perhaps as many as five sections. The sections floated together and then welded.
The ship is named Emma Maersk.
The command bridge is higher than a 10 store building and has 11 crane rigs that can operate simultaneously.
I've been sailing this ship a few times, and yes she is a big ship, but not too big for Suez, and she can definately not go 31 knots! =) 25 at max even though thats pretty fast as well.
The ship was built in a normal drydock, assembled from prewelded cubes of about 20x20x20m, as soon as it can float its dragged outside the drydock and the keel is laid for the next ship.
The ship has, obviously, no cranes except for the small provisioncranes by the accomodation.
The ship does not come to california, some of its sisterships might (we have 7 of them) but the ship in question is currently deployed between northern europe and the far east.

This is the ship on her maiden voyage through Suez.
I think the reason the company refrains from allowing you to add it to the game has to do with the culture of perfectionism. If the model indeed were to be added the company would by default be held responsible for the result, be it good or bad. I hope this explains it, although I as well as you would love this ship ingame :)
Happy sailing!

Hi several years back when I was with my father on a maersk ship I remember the bridge almost looks the same as this one, same kind of walls and floor and other stuffs, I think the bridge looks very old for a newer ship as Emma Maersk, what do you guys think? Shouldn't it look a bit newer?
-
Thats the way it looks, now as then :)
-
yeah, I guess, BTW welcome to the forum Martin

Hoy,

Was that in Zeebrugge or in Rotterdam?
I hope that she will ever come to Antwerp ;D
-
Hoy,
It was in Rotterdam at APM number 8190(Maasvlakte)
All of the big container-liner of Mearsk are coming there.

??? How its go's with this project ??? ;D its 2009 now :thumbs:

I dont know if it is just for this shop or all the projects he working on, the last mounth have he remaked the homepage 2-3times.
-
And he's made $0 A.K.A. SQUAT,
...Good Luck With That... :lol:

She is huge, put I don't very like it in game.
Hard and slow to operate.
-
I do have to agree with another topic that I think we need medium sized boats, but maybe one more would be OK. ;D

31 knots slow? Thats faster than the Ocean Star.
-
Yes, But what's the turning radius?
-
Yes, But what's the turning radius?
Probably very similar to Vermaas.
-
Not that bad then I guess.

If you put containers on.
Still to big for the game.
Let Vermass and Latitude be the biggest :D

Shes not that much bigger than the QM2 and you see tons of people asking for QM2 so why not EM?
-
She is a great ship, put still ugly and to big :D
QM2 is amazing ship :)
NO to Emma.
-
If you are experienced, size doesn't matter. She's also not designed to be pretty, it's designed to do a job well.
-
AWSOME!
-
Bigship23,
you posted on a topic that was last posted on March 22, 2009.
-
AWSOME!
IT IS!!!

OK
now its 2010 and hows the Emma Maersk project coming??? ??? ???

You know what, honestly, I don't care about guys like you jumping into dumped un-updated project topics checking their status... This project isn't under development for this sim, so it's not more to ask for. :P
Besides there are plenty of other great ships in this sim. And if this ship was made, we could not use the brand name "Emma Maersk" because it's copyrighted, so is the logo and so is the ship owners company name.
So why just not leave it alone. :P :P
Maybe some others will do this ship for the sim, but certainly not me. I got 12 000 other projects to keep in track of and 20 000 tasks for another sim, and my thumbs are exhausted of mouse-clicks and key-hits. So I got no time for this anyway... :D
So I dont care what the *** people post here for. Maybe you should beg Santa ("oooohhhhh santa, please, pleeeeaaaasssee...give me this ship!! Im begging you...my mummy wont let me have it...Santa, pleeeeaaasse") :P
(Beside of that Im a :evil: person)
