Fake news! Or so I was told by a certain Captain Pedersen of the Maersk Seafarer 2 down the pub the other night.......

That article is a bit dated "April 24th, 2009".
Few ships are good environmentally (but you also need to consider the load they carry!) but there is a big confusing mixing of facts and info in that article, the Emma Mærsk is now over ten years old and plenty of other later versions are improved see here;

the other seven of that class;

a further 30 ships of even larger scale 2nd/3rd gen versions;

and if you like pictures of ships then this site is the with out question the best!
