My scale model of the container ship Emma Maersk. At 650 blocks long, it is the largest structure I have built in minecraft so far and the new largest complete ship in Minecraft. Took only three days to construct thanks to single player commands and McEdit. Maersk Line is the largest shipping company world and biggest company in Denmark. The Emma Maersk and her seven identical sisters can carry up to 11,000 twenty foot shipping containers at a time, including carrying tens of thousands of tons of toys from China to the US every year around Christmas time.

I have included my excellent 602-block Queen Mary 2 ocean liner in this world save - it is floating on the port side of the Emma Maersk. The largest container ship and largest ocean liner in the world, side by side!

What scale is she in? I know its not 1:1, becuase if it was 1 block equals one meter (1:1), that would make her 397 meters (or blocks) long.

Hi jbstewart985, I build all of my ships in 1.745:1 scale, which I have discovered is the perfect ratio for making the interior rooms look as big as they do in real life rather than cramped/blocky, and to add the perfect level of detail. I developed this ratio after building my Queen Mary 2 model - I first built a passenger cabin, than copy/pasted all of the cabins in and added the bow/stern to make it proportional-looking. When this was done, the final model was 602 blocks long rather than the 345 blocks that a 1:1 model would be. Dividing 602/345, you get 1.7449, which I now use as the standard scale for all of my ships. That means my Emma Maersk model should be 693 blocks compared to the QM2, although I may have fudged it a bit to make it look right (closer to 650). Having stuff look right is more important to me than having correct measurements, cause in the end only the looks matter :)

Cheers, and thank you for your interest in my work!

Thank you for explaining all of this to me... I remember when I made a ship in 1:1 scale, and boy did I have a hard time with the cramped space, and disproportions... Anyways, great work, and I love your ships.... I think you have earned yourself another subscriber...( I already "Diamonded" all your ships and favorited the Satori, Emma Maersk, and QM 2).

If only I had more time I would have loved to invite you to my current MC project. I'm currently drawing the lines for M/S Stavangerfjord. I will recreate her in a 1:5 scale (1meter=5blocks). She is the first LNG Ferry in the world, making her something very special. On top of all this, I've got exclusive insights to her, since I'm actually working on her IRL :-) I've got access to the plan drawings, so I can replicate her in full detail (or as close as minecraft will allow me). In a few month time I should be able to have her finished and ready for release. But for now I'd like to award you a diamond for your impressive recreations of both Queen Mary 2 and Emma Maersk! Well done my friend!
