世界最大集装箱船配员仅13人

COPENHAGEN 03 November - The container ship Emma Maersk has a crew of

just 13, all Danes. Presumably the ship’s sisters will have the same:

the only alterations from the first of series being “small changes to

living spaces”, according to a report in this month’s Safety at Sea

International. The article revealed that the crew had been working

together for several months before the ship’s delivery “to ensure that

they are familiar with each other” and ready to take on the

responsibilities of handling such a large vessel. Capt Henrik Solmer

said the time together included “human relationship training”. He added

that team-building and relaxation were important as sometimes “you’ve

got to have some fun - if time permits”.
