- List of largest container ships
Notes
* The size of a container ship is defined throughout the world in terms of TEU capacity. The exception is the Maersk Line. It does not quote the TEU capacity, but instead the maximum load capacity in terms of "filled" TEUs with an average 14 tonne total weight. This value is always less than the raw TEU capacity. These values are noted in the table above.
* Information on true container ship capacities is commercially sensitive and may be several thousand TEUs higher.
* This list is updated as large ships are completed.
