@Phil:

thats what i figured. APM really wants to make sure that everybody knows this big girl is a Maersk boat(as if the blue hull/tan house/black&blue funnel doesnt give it away, lol).

Years ago, the A P Møller company (they didn't call themselves Maersk Line then) instead of the company name used to have their ships' names in huge letters along the side. So did fellow Danish companies DFDS and Lauritzen.
That was very convenient for long-distance ship-spotters perched on the likes of the Dover cliffs!

Kyle.

Anyone trying to read off ship names at long-distance with a scope or bins will tell you how difficult it can be to read tightly-spaced letters, even if they are reasonably large. Even at naked-eye distance, tight spacing can look smudgy and blocky. Therefore, the wider spacing is probably to make the logo more prominent.

I wonder who decided on adding the extra space in between the lettering on the side.

compare with: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1242357

it looks funny to me this way. if they wanted the logo bigger why didnt they just size up the standard Maersk logo?
