The world’s largest container ship CSCL Globe arrives on her first visit to Europe to make her only UK call at the Port of Felixstowe today – with hundreds of people expected at viewing points to witness the occasion. The Hong Kong-registered CSCL Globe is truly huge – a behemoth of the waves, a new class of vessel able to carry a staggering 19,000 standard-sized shipping containers, even more than the Maersk Triple-E fleet. The previous largest ship to have docked at the port was the Maersk Triple-E, which arrived in November, carrying about 18,000 containers. The CSCL Globe made its maiden voyage from the Port of Qingdao, China in December. The China Shipping Container Lines vessel – built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in a shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea, and launched last November – is as big as four football pitches.
