COMMENT THIS PHOTO(8)
On one 13.000 TEU vessel that my company had with the waste heat recovery system, the trials lasted 1 week. It was the 1st ship in the series, and many things did not run smoothly. So, these 7 days were more than planned.
My personal experience with sea trials includes much shorter ones: two, two-and-a-half days...
I guess MMM really wants to cross all the i's and dot all the t's...(or something like that)... :)

New technology for the shipyard staff as well as Maersk's must be generating a huge amount of data!
The length of the trials phase has been described in the South China Morning Post:
"These reductions, which should be verified during the *** 12-day sea trials***, will be achieved by more efficient twin engines recovering waste heat, steaming at slower speeds, a boxy hull design and an improved propulsion system."
Regards, Rick

And which ships are ugly? Stupid question and stupid discussions/comments! However, to be frank: to me all ships built since the Scandinavian viking ships are "quite ugly" :-)
