Maersk has been shipping cargo across the ocean for more than a
century, with its ships being available for hire in nearly every major port.
� e shipping company purchases vessels from a variety of shipbuilders.
� e model that Maersk currently favors is a high-speed transport that
allows for speedier delivery rather than pure fuel-e� cient operation.
� e ability of the vessel to unload its own cargo with integral container
cranes ensures that the vessel can meet its contracts without relying on
the whims of its chief competitor, Wuxing.

> Maersk has equipped a number of these with sky sails to improve fuel effi ciency,
despite the fact they were built for speed. They also help with the speed if they
are installed properly, so it’s something to keep in mind if you are trying to
board one.

> Fortunately, they’re normally just slapped on the forward end of the ship, so
they can’t take too much strain. The corps want to make money more than they
want to make things that work right.

> I’ve seen images of one of these things unloading in a small port called Kalama.
I wonder what the NAN could want so badly to that they would charter a fast
freighter for it.

> These ships rarely use their own cranes, since modern ports tend to have plenty of
high-speed cranes to spare. Although I guess it helps when you are transporting
something that a government wants to keep away from a megacorp.
