First Voyage from the CMA CGM "Alexander Von Humboldt" to Port of Hamburg.
This HDVideo shows the CMA CGM Alexander Von Humboldt incoming to Port of Hamburg on 2013, May 28th.
The CMA CGM "Alexander Von Humboldt" is the second one of a series of three 16.000 TEU vessels. The Container Vessel CMA CGM "Marco Polo" is the sister ship. At this time is it currently one of two of the largest Container Vessels in the world.
The CMA CGM Alexander Von Humboldt is christened at 30th May 2013 in Hamburg.

At 18 kn ship speed, the stopping distance is more than 1.6 sm!
Without consideration of the propeller, the stopping distance and stop times are essentially a function of the ship's mass, ship's resistance and the initial speed, as well as the influence of the environmental conditions.
The stoppath calculation of ships with great accuracy is not a simple procedure.
In general, ships with variable pitch propellers have shorter stop values than ships with fixed propellers.

Dieser HDFilm zeigt einlaufend die CMA CGM "Alexander Von Humboldt" auf seiner ersten Reise in den Hafen Hamburg zum Container Terminal Burchardkai. Es ist ein interessanter Anblick das zur Zeit größte Containerschiff der Welt zu sehen. Das in Südkorea gebaute RiesenSchiff ist am 30. Mai 2013 in Hamburg getauft worden.

Das erste Schiff der Serie ist die "Marco Polo", nach der "Alexander von Humboldt" stellte die Reederei CMA CGM noch ein drittes baugleiches Schiff die "Jules Verne" in Dienst.
