NEW 349m CONTAINER SHIP ANE MAERSK LEAVES THE PORT OF HAMBURG GERMANY - 4K SHIPSPOTTING MARCH 2024

[@tomwolf2603]

got to say with that vertical bow and the bridge that far in the front she really looks similar to the lakers in US..

[@zakelwe]

That's a good comparison. I don't know much about shipping, is there a reason for this design over the older one with it further back ? Visibility?

[@thelastperfectman4139]

@@zakelweI’m presuming with this kind of container ship, having the pilots deck at the bow allows for far better vision compared to having it behind the giant stacks of containers.

[@sadaramnishanth5493]

​@@zakelwethe Older ones with the Superstructure further back , but still a significant distance from the aft = Engine was a significant distance from the aft = Long Shaft = greater losses of power+can't stack containers Under Deck, cause it's ALL housing the shaft and it's bearings. But- those were built for Faster speeds. Hence powerlosses + not enough capacity were compensated by Turnaround time. Ane Maersk - has super structure in the front. But engine in the FAR aft(funnel as u can see is in the aft) = Short AF propeller = Less losses = Mor efficiency+much higher cargo carrying capacity than Longer vessels of the Type you mentioned. Probably built for much slower speeds . Since such a massive superstructure in the front will create a LOT of Wind Resistance.

I always wondered why the bridge was in the middle or even rear of middle. This makes more sense.

[@dannycrooks8462]

[@MaxSupercars]

This is a cargo ship, not a cruise ship. People are there to work. Maersk made a research and in rough seas they got always a better comfort than on smaller vessels with traditional placed cabins. This is a big long heavy ship.

[@rael5469]

Why'd they do it then? Makes no sense? My guess is that they intend to avoid rough seas. Yes ?

[@Eagle77XS]

there may be more pitching forward but at 185000 tons, the crew will be fine... it'll be "uncomfortable" less than 30 days a year haha

[@henktulp4400]

I was thinking just the same…..

[@JohnHunter-m8d]

The only reason they've designed it this way is to maximise the widest part of the ship for containers - accommodation right at the bow where the hull narrows, engine room right aft to shorten the propellor shaft. Who cares about crew comfort? Cargo ships actually pitch more than cruise ships, because cruise ships have stabilisers to reduce pitching, because they carry paying passengers who don't like paying money to be sea-sick. If it's such a great design, why are the lifeboats about as far from the crew accommodation as it's possible to be?@@MaxSupercars

[@brandonreeves5979]

That’s a great shot of ANE MAERSK as she coming towards you. Awesome video!

[@Mr.-Wint]

The reason for the superstructure up front was that this was necessary to compensate for the loss of cargo space due to the larger tanks required. Methanol only got half the energi compared to fossil oil so the tanks had to be double size..

[@AbWischBar]

Wonder if another reason is, that they can now stack containers to full height. Was told that "traditional" container ships have this tapered stacking (low at front, taller at back) for clear sight. They need to see everything up to a few hundred meters (don't remember the exact distance) ahead of the vessel. With the bridge at the front they can almost see vertically down.

[@chicobicalho5621]

There is an article on The New York Times today about the dozens of important bridges in the US alone, where large ships pass under, without any kind of protection for its pillars, like the Key bridge in Baltimore. With this superstructure right over the bow, the crew better pray nothing like the Dali/Key event happens to them. Regardless, ship design should not be based on unsafe bridge structures, and this boat design is awesome. I traveled for 29 days in a bulk carrier, where the superstructure was on the very back, above the engine, and it was very uncomfortable, with the constant vibration, and the view from the bridge was a bunch of containers almost eyelevel.

[@Salty1952]

I rode around on a ship with the bridge up close to the bow for about 15 years and can bet that the crews won't be loving life from time to time. The noise from spray and breaking swells can sound like a front end loader dropping a bucket of pea rock on the roof of your metallic structure. If you're inclined to sea-sickness, you'd also find the levitating effect of big swells lifting you're head off your pillow when you're trying to sleep, frustrating if not outright nauseating. An interesting ship all the same. It certainly isn't built for speed.

[@rael5469]

"With this superstructure right over the bow, the crew better pray nothing like the Dali/Key event happens to them. " Good point !

I don't know if that extreme forward-house design would have fared as well in Baltimore as MV Dali did. The first stack of containers on Dali didn't do too well. There's also not a bulbous bow on Ane Maersk, where Dali's may have given some protection.

The engine room room at the stern of the ship so the crews quarters is at the bow and away from the noise of the engine room. I’m thinking they should have a passage way for humans on one side of the ship down in the hull of the ship for easy passage of crew members to go back n forth to the main crew quarters up front. Then off setting the exhaust stack to the port side to allow more containers on the stern. Then if they ever had to replace the engine it would be fairly easy but hopefully not. The removal of superstructure back at the stern would be less complicated. I give the engineers a 👍👍👍on that one.

The best with up-front.bow accommodation is that you can closely see waves, etc, ahead and slow down, change course when necessary. One problem is that the lifeboats are 300 m aft of the bridge, if the ships is abandoned. Actually, a ship of this size could in principle be remotely operated from shore. If there is a problem you just join the ship by helicopter ... if there is pad for it. On board maintenance isn't possible, so every five years, the ship must be taken out of service for it. Of course you can fly in people to do minor things aboard, but ...
