With a capacity for 7,500 containers, the "Hamburg Express", named today in Hamburg by Lydia Schrempp, wife of DaimlerChrysler CEO Jürgen Schrempp, is one of the largest containerships in the world.
She is the new flagship of the Hapag-Lloyd fleet. The newbuilding was named the "Hamburg Express" today at Hamburg's Burchardkai terminal by Lydia Schrempp, wife of Jürgen Schrempp, the head of DaimlerChrysler, which has been one of Hapag-Lloyd's main customers for many years. "The bottle smashed at the first go, which is a good omen for superstitious seafarers like us," jested Bernd Wrede, chairman of the executive board of Hapag-Lloyd AG. The naming ceremony was attended by 150 invited guests from business and politics, including Hamburg's mayor, Ole von Beust, and DaimlerChrysler's Jürgen Schrempp.
The "Hamburg Express" is a ship of superlatives: she is 320 metres long and 43 metres wide and with a capacity of 100,000t can carry 7,500 standard containers (TEU), with a maximum of 17 containers stacked next to one another on deck and 16 layers on top of one another, including seven on deck.
The main engine, which is the size of a house, has an output of 68,640 kW or over 93,000 hp, providing a speed of over 25 knots, or over 50 km/h. The propeller with its diameter of 9.1 metres and weight of 100 tonnes is currently the world's largest driving a containership.
The "Hamburg Express" was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea. Construction began on February 14th this year when the lasers began to cut the first steel plates - up to 78 millimetres thick. Computer-controlled systems were used to ensure the precision engineering of the sections making up the vessel. Already incorporating all installations and supply systems, these modules only needed to be welded together in the construction dock. A total of 300 sections, some weighing up to 800 tonnes, were fitted.
"Hyundai handed over the newbuilding to us right on schedule on October 24th 2001 after a construction time of only eight months," stated a gratified Günther Casjens, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd Container Line. The containership called at Pusan, Shanghai, Xiamen, Yantian, Hongkong, Singapore, Port Said and Southampton before arriving punctually for the naming ceremony in Hamburg.
Casjens commented that 20 years ago Hapag-Lloyd commissioned what was then the "largest ship in the world": the "Frankfurt Express", which is still in service. She could carry 3,430 containers - at that time, an all but unimaginable capacity. The progress made in shipbuilding is shown even more clearly by fuel consumption: 55 kg per container and day on the "Frankfurt Express", compared with only 23 on the "Hamburg Express" at a speed of 23 knots.
7500 X 23 = 172500 kg/day fuel used
23 knots for a ship this size, I would think this prop is doing it's job quite nicely
