CMA CGM Marco Polo

Zeebruges (B)

Le Marco Polo est le plus grand porte-conteneurs au monde,
pouvant transporter jusqu'à 16 020 EVP (équivalent vingt pieds)
soit 97 km de conteneurs mis bout à bout. Sa longeur est de 396 métres
(plus long que 4 terrains de football ou 5,5 Airbus A380),
sa largeur de 53,60 mètres, le tirant d'eau de 16 mètres.

(Wikipedia)

At 396 meters long and 54 meters wide, the Marco Polo is larger than
a US Navy aircraft carrier and longer than four football pitches.
It became the largest containership in the world measured by capacity
just last month, on 6 November 2012, beating the previous best of 11,000
containers that the Emma Mærsk and her seven sisters of the Mærsk E-class
are capable of carrying.
