MV CSCL GLOBE is a container ship owned and operated by China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL). The first of a class of five ships intended for Asia-Europe trade routes, it was the largest container ship in the world at the time of its launch in November 2014, with a maximum capacity of 19,100 twenty-foot containers.
Construction
The CSCL GLOBE and its four sister ships were ordered by CSCL in May 2013. The ship was constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries at their shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea, with the first steel for the hull cut in January 2014. The GLOBE completed its sea trials in October 2014, and was officially launched (named?) in November 2014. Upon its entry into service, the GLOBE superseded Mærsk's Mærsk MC-KINNEY MØLLER as the world's largest operational container ship.
Design and engineering
The GLOBE has an overall length of 400 m (1,312 ft), a beam of 59 m (194 ft) and a summer draft of 16.0 m (52.5 ft). With a deadweight of 184,605 DWT and a gross tonnage of 187,541 GT, the vessel can carry 19,100 TEU with 2,000 reefer points. The vessel is constructed to DNV GL class standards. Despite its size, it can be operated by a crew of just 31.
The GLOBE's main engine is a MAN B&W 12S90ME-C with a total output power of 69,720 kW at 84 rpm. At the time of its completion, the 17-metre (56 ft) tall engine was the largest ship engine ever built. Designed to maximise fuel efficiency while reducing noise and carbon dioxide emissions, it permits the ship a service speed of 20.5 knots (38 km/h), while the maximum speed attained during sea trials exceeded 22.0 knots (41 km/h).
Career
The GLOBE left Shanghai, China, on its maiden voyage in early December 2014, and arrived at its first port of call – Felixstowe, England – on 7 January 2015. In January 2015, the GLOBE was superseded as the world's largest container ship by Mediterranean Shipping Company's MSC OSCAR , which exceeded its TEU capacity by 124 containers.
