A-class container ship
Container ship class
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The new A class III is a series of 12 container ships built for Maersk Line by Hyundai Heavy Industries. The ships are the first dual fuel container ship class (after the smaller Laura Maersk),[1] and the second largest container ships capable of running on methanol.[2] The ships are unusual in having the bridge at the front of the ship, not near the middle or rear as most large ships.[3]
