The Maersk Triple-E, the world's largest ship, set the mark on July 21 when it left Algeciras, Spain, on its way to Tanjung Pelepas, Malaysia. The Triple-E has a full potential capacity of 18,270 20-foot equivalent units (TEU).
Maersk raised its full-year profit guidance on Tuesday after quarterly results boosted by its robust container shipping business.
