Madrid Maersk
Container ship built in 2017
Madrid Maersk was the largest container ship at the time of launch, but was surpassed shortly after the launch of OOCL Hong Kong, and she was the second container ship to surpass the 20,000-TEU threshold, after the MOL Triumph. She was built at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering shipyard and was delivered in April 2017. Her first port on her maiden voyage was Port of Tianjin, China.
Madrid Maersk has a capacity of 20,568 TEUs and is the first of eleven second-generation Maersk Triple E-class container ships. Maersk Line, the company owner, is taking delivery of the remaining ten plus 17 additional smaller vessels to replace older ships through the end of 2018.

Why this record matters
“Madrid Maersk” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Madrid, Maersk and Container provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30179719. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2018.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
