It bears the name of the late Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller, who passed away in April 2012 at the age of 98. Maersk Line CEO, Søren Skou, began the ceremony by welcoming all the special guests and recounting the important tradition of naming ceremonies in Maersk ever since the Þ rst event in 1906 welcomed Peter Mærsk as the second vessel in the ß eet.He then handed the podium and the honor of nam-ing the Þ rst Triple-E vessel to Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla, the youngest daughter of Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller. ?As you sail the waters of the world, may your jour- neys be smooth and your tasks successful. May you bring happiness to your crew, may you be a safe haven for all who board you and may you bring pride and prosperity to all. I wish you Godspeed!?The Triple-E is the largest ship in the world, and it sets new standards in the container industry, not just for size, but also of energy ef Þ ciency and environmental performance, Maersk said. With unique design features for slower speeds and maximum efÞ ciency, this vessel will emit 50% less CO2 per container moved than the current average on the Asia-Europe route. Maersk Line has ordered a total of 20 of these ves-sels, which will be phased in gradually over the next couple of years on the existing route between Asia and Northern Europe (AE10).Named Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller12 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News ?
