Mediterranean Tessa: the World’s Largest Container Ship

Mediterranean Tessa is nearly 400 meters long and is the world’s largest container ship. Her deck area is the size of 4 football pitches. She can carry up to 240,000 tonnes of cargo or more than 24,000 standard containers. The ship is fitted with an air lubrication system. It blows tiny bubbles along the hull to reduce its resistance in the water. This reduces the ship’s CO2 emissions by up to 4% saving around 6,000 tonnes of CO2 a year. Mediterranean Tessa was designed and built in China and will soon be on her way to the Mediterranean Shipping company.
