World's largest container ship arrives at Felixstowe
The Ever Ace docked in Felixstowe, Suffolk, early on Sunday morning on her maiden voyage.
The 400m-long (1,300ft) ship has a capacity of 23,992 containers, which is slightly more than other, similar-sized vessels.
She is due to leave for Rotterdam on Wednesday before she crosses the Suez Canal, which was blocked by her sister ship in March.
The Ever Given ran aground earlier this year and was stuck in Egypt for nearly a week, causing disruption to global shipping, before itself arriving at the Suffolk port last month.
The Ever Ace is the first in a planned series of 12 supersized container ships to be built for Taiwanese company Evergreen Marine.
