But big ships aren’t just lucrative for toy companies. Driven partly by demand, but mostly by rising fuel costs, shipping companies like Maersk are building bigger ships to cut the cost of doing business. The Triple-E is the biggest container ship ever (though still smaller than some oil tankers), and can carry four times the volume that ships did 20 years ago. In fact, it’s so big that it will barely fit through the Suez Canal. Yet some economists think even that won’t stop these mutant ships from growing to meet economies of scale. “The fact that the ship is bigger is going to relate to a lower cost of transport,” says Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue, professor of geography at Hofstra University in New York. In fact, bigger ships burn fuel so much more efficiently that a detour past Capetown—which will be necessary if ships get any bigger—will ultimately pay off. When new container ships outgrew the Panama Canal in 1985 (which may or may not get wider sometime soon), not even treacherous Cape Horn could deter them.
Oh my, how we’ve grown.But don’t expect to see the Triple-E in Houston, Long Beach, or any of the other new world ports; the big ships only run the “pendulum” route between Asia and Northern Europe. No ports in the Americas are big enough to handle the Triple-E, whose massive girth can disrupt other boats’ business. Most ports in Europe aren’t equipped to handle the ships, either. But the demand for cheaper goods is forcing some European ports to dredge their ports deeper and wider to accommodate them. American demand also isn’t enough to make the journey worthwhile. Rodrigue says that the available stops along the route inform the size of the ship. “People don’t understand how much volume demand you need for those kind of ships,” he says. Whereas, between Asia and Europe there are plenty of markets to earn money along the way: Hong Kong, Singapore, Mumbai, and Suez, to name a few. There’s only the Pacific Ocean between Asia and the Americas.Largest ContainerContainer ShipsWuh VideoVideo SceltiThis VideoVideo CaptainsMaersk Line SSeconds TimelapseShipping VideosForwardBuilding the Worlds Largest Ship (in 76 seconds) by Maersk Line.
A timelapse of the construction of Maersk Lines very first Triple-E vessel at the DSME shipyard in Okpo, Korea.Maersk is a theme first released in 1974 focusing on cargo transportation. It includes eight sets so far, all based on a container-carrying vehicle. It is based upon the real world company, Maersk, which was established in 1904, and is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. The first Maersk set was released in 1974. It was a blue mini-scale container ship, which, because of its small size, did not include any minifigures. Since then, three trucks, three more ships, and a train have been made, with the newest set being a ship, 10241 Maersk Line Triple-E, which is released on January 1 2014. All of the sets have included light grey cargo containers. All three of the trucks have included a minifigure, although they varied greatly in their appearance. The train includes three minifigures, all of which have identical uniforms. The following minifigures were introduced in this theme:

These are the instructions for building the LEGO Advanced Models Maersk Sealand Container Ship that was released in 2004. BULDING INSTRUCTION 10152 [12.32 Mb]I love Lego ships, and this gigantic 1,500-piece official version of the Maersk Triple E is a real beauty. The Lego designers at Billund, Denmark, have done a phenomenal job at capturing its giant scale. The Triple E-class vessel is the largest cargo ship in the planet. Four of these fuel-efficient behemoths are already roaming the seas, with 16 more coming from Daewoo's shipyards in South Korea.It's a really beautiful set for $150, which is not a lot considering its rare elements—which come in medium azur, dark red, sand blue and sand green colored elements—not available in any other sets.
