The Evelyn Maersk is powered by a Wärtsilä RT-flex96C diesel electric engine capable of producing 109,998 hp with a single fixed pitch propeller and capable of reaching a top speed of 24.5kn.[1] The ship can move up to 11000 containers at one time.[3]
The Evelyn Maersk only requires a 13 man crew.[4]
Emissions
Evelyn Maersk uses one of the most efficient power plants, using its exhaust heat for boilers and purifying its fuel. Even though the power plants are efficient The Evelyn Mearsk and her sisters have come under scrutiny for burning heavy fuel oil,[5] a black oil that gives off high amounts of sulfur and other pollutants. Although by Ton transporting freight by cargo ship is the least pollutant option, The Evelyn Maersk gives off ten tons of nitrogen oxide per day of running.[6]
45,000 tonnes of toys
In Autumn of 2010 Evelyn Maersk restocked Britain and Europe's toy stores with the years best selling toy (Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear). The ship docked in Felixstowe, Suffolk, with a million toys, boardgames, and puzzles brought over from China.[7]
