Ebba Mærsk
Ebba Mærsk is a container ship owned by the Danish shipping company A. P. Moller-Maersk Group. She is the fifth of the Mærsk E-class, and at the time of delivery she and her seven sister ships were among the largest container ships ever built. She has a total TEU capacity of 11,000 TEU 14-ton containers by Mærsk definition; however, with standard ratings she can hold 14,770 containers. This rating goes by physical space rather than weight. Her beam is 56 m, her length 397 m, and she has a deadweight tonnage of 156,907. In May 2010, she was reported with in Tangier, Morocco, the highest equivalent number of any vessel.
