Here is some video of the Emma Maersk, the World’s Largest Container Ship, at sea.
Comments from the video:
The first build of Maersk Line’s E-Series, the 11,000 TEU Emma Maersk as seen from the 4,300 TEU Maersk Missouri.

Both of us were on our way to anchor at Port Said, Egypt before transiting the Suez Canal, early the next morning.
