James,

I dont thik they live aft but on vessels of this design I have been told that there is a rest area aft for engineers.

"The difference between the Captain & the Engineer is that the later one washes his hands BEFORE going to toilet. They (Engineers) live in their basement all the time during voyages & we (Captains) interfere with them only via radio."

I have just heard on the local radio (Radio Rijeka), during the broadcast called 'Marine Evening', that the captain on the maiden voyage of CMA CGM MARCO POLO is the Captain from Rijeka.
I duly know the full name & surname of the Captain, but for privacy reason I do not mention it here.
When he, Captain returns home, I shall be free to ask him his opinion about the issue of the dislocated/split superstructure and Engine Room.
Shall revert, later upon, to you on this site accordingly/Brgds Jadran

Accommodation/bridge placed forward to have the necessary angle of IMO line of sight at full draft from the bridge while having the max. number of container tiers on deck. Engine room as aft as possible to have a short shaft, otherwise much long shaft might be damaged while turning of ship due to flexibility of hull in case of length nearly 400 m. Both problems were barely solved on EMMA MAERSK & her sisterships which I believe are the last longest ones of "classical" arrangement.

Could somebody be kind an explain to me what is the purpose of having this kind of design with superstructure and engine room split?
Thanks...

Andrew,
Do you mean the Engineers live aft?

Super series of this new giant and in terms of capacity she is the largest container vessel in the world.
With regard to the distance between the accomodation & engine room there is also accomodation for engineers near the engine room.

They just teleport between the accommodation & engine room in few seconds. Don't underestimate modern technologies. :P

When construting these nobody, and the least all those who are involved in the design (for sure no sailors!!) thinking about such things. Convenience for sailors was never an issue and when it makes KABOOM insurance kicks in. On top of that, every engineer on duty is considered capable of overlooking everything, same as on the bridge, that the reality is different nobody will ever talk about.

comment

person
Yes i agree with you . she look very nice in general shape . but i think the problem in her design specifically the long and far distance between superstructure and engine room .

Edit
comment

person
I cannot hel myself, I like this ship (more than Maersk E's). This one looks so balanced and symmetrical, despite her size

Edit
comment

person
I think this design will get some problems in future when engine problems will happen . in past they used this design (superstructure far from engine room ) and as i know many vessels burned because of this situation in design. Note that lengths of the vessels were not as they are now,!

And they go to engine room walking !? distance is long , and what if happened emergence case and they need chief engineer . will spend time in order to arrived to engine room !

Edit
comment

person
They have a wonderful dry (if she is fully loaden to the sides)corridor of 1,50 m wide and 2,50 high on both sides.

Edit
comment

person
I have question ! how could to the engineers moving between superstructure and engine room ? I think the distance up to 120 meters

Edit
comment

person
Will this ship be the largest (in terms of LOA at least) to visit Southampton? It must certainly be up there.

Another boxship which makes sure that the recovery in the shipping business will take more and more time.

Interesting shot - in many ways. And ships is - apparently - in due time being prepared for the PR-stunts in Europe: all the dark blue/CMA CGM-boxes placed in the first line, while the yellow/MSC-boxes (maybe the majority of the on-deck containers) have been hidden behind :-)

I am looking forward to her maiden arrival in Southampyon on 10th December - what are the odds she arrives and leaves at night !!
