🎉 100 years ago, on 23 February 1924, the general cargo tramper Emma Mærsk left the Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark. The vessel was to be the first of eight Maersk vessels named Emma, a name with a special story. The first Emma Mærsk from 1924, as well as the second from 1928, were named after Mrs. Emma Isbrandtsen, a sister of A.P. Møller’s mother. The last six Emma Mærsk have been named after A.P. Møller’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller. The eight vessels with the name Emma represent the major shipping segments of the A.P. Moller Group over time: One was a tramp vessel, four were crude oil tankers and one was a product tanker. Number five was a combined container and roll-on/roll-off vessel and the current Emma Mærsk was the world’s largest container vessel when launched in 2006🚢 “Shipping is full of traditions” – such was the first line in a 1985 article about “Six Emma Mærsk ships”. The sixth had just been named at the Odense Steel Shipyard, and it was an opportunity to tell the story of our tradition of using names related to the founding family on our vessels. Nearly 40 years later, we mark the 100th anniversary of the first Emma Mærsk💙 #Maerskheritage #anniversary #supplychain #globaltrade #Maersk
