Some information:

Length - 397m (almost half a kilometer!)

Width -- 63m

Deadweight -- 123,200 tones

Engine -- 14 cylinder diesel, 110,000 BHP (82 MW engine)

Top speed -- 50kph

Estimated cost -- over US$145 million (A Boeing 747 costs US$240
million)

Capacity -- 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 1 x 20ft container)

Apparently the silicon paint covering the part of the hull below the Waterline lowers the drag in the water so much that the vessel economizes 1.2 million liters of fuel per year
