About this converter
Boxships run 294 to 400 m in this table. Zim Rotterdam 4900 TEU at 294 and OOCL P 8600 TEU at 323 open the small end. Emma Maersk at 397.7, Triple E at 399.2, Ever Given, Ever Alot, Algeciras, Irina, Sorbonne, Gulsun and Spain at 399.9 each and Barzan at 400 close the ultra large end. Every figure is overall length LOA from operator specs. TEU counts rise without length rising past 400 m due to canal and port limits. Beam and draft drive TEU more than length now and are noted per row.
How to use it
Pick two boxships and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Barzan against 1 Zim Rotterdam to see the 400 to 294 gap in meters or feet. Click any table row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.
Values pin LOA with bulb excluded. Barzan lists 400 here as longest. Ever Given lists 399.9 with 400 rounded in some sheets. Emma Maersk lists 397.7 early ultra large. TEU stays out of math because length is the topic. Suez block notes stay per row for Given.
