Step aboard the Emma Maersk for a glimpse at the adventures of the crew on a two-week, 13,000-kilometre crossing from Malaysia to Spain. At 20 storeys tall, this ship is capable of carrying millions of dollars worth of cargo in over 12,000 containers - enough to fill a freight train 70 kilometres long! Powered by the world's largest diesel engine turning the world's biggest propeller, this massive ship seldom stops. Every year, this magnificent vessel circumnavigates the globe seven-and-a-half times. Don't miss this high speed, high risk seafaring adventure as the crew navigates the pirate-infested Strait of Malacca and Horn of Africa, dodges cyclones in the Indian Ocean and performs two major engine repairs at sea. But can the Emma Maersk overcome these challenges and make it through the Suez Canal to her final port in time?
