Hannover Bridge
container ship built in 2006
Hannover Bridge is a container ship registered in Panama but has a Japanese ship-owner and German name.
The ship carries containers, which is the fastest-developing sector in cargo shipping. Hannover Bridge was built in 2006 in the ship-yard of IHI Marine United in Kure, Hiroshima, Japan. The ship can carry 8,212 TEUs, according to company requirements, but IMO claims that the vessel's capacity is larger than ten thousand. The operator of Hannover Bridge is the container shipping sector of K Line Group, which maintains a fleet of 55 container ships. The gross tonnage of Hannover Bridge is 98,747, the ship's length is 336 metres, and its beam is 46 metres.
The vessel's main diesel engine is a Daewoo and allows to the ship to reach a maximum speed of 24 knots. The cruising speed of Hannover Bridge is 21 knots and the economy speed is 20.5 knots. All these speeds are reached with more than 20% lower consumption of heavy fuel. The emissions of CO2 are decreased in the new innovated diesel engine, which is less harmful to the environment.

Why this record matters
“Hannover Bridge” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hannover, Bridge and container provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 10, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5649230. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
