īy normal calculations, she has a capacity significantly greater than reported-between 13,500 and 15,200 TEU. However, Maersk also acknowledges the standard method of defining capacity, stating 14,770 TEU. Originally Maersk reported a capacity of 11,000 TEU ( twenty-foot equivalent units) as the maximum capacity of fully loaded 14 ton containers, according to Maersk company's then method of calculating capacity, which, at her introduction into service, was about 1,400 more containers than any other ship.

On 15 February 2013, the Maersk Line confirmed that she was about to leave Port Said under tow to a yard for further assessment and repair. Tugs, anchors and the wind took her to Port Said to offload 13,500 containers, drain her and be investigated by divers.
