The Golden class is a series of 11 container ships built for Evergreen Marine. The maximum theoretical capacity is in the range of 20,124 to 20,388 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU).[1]

History

The ships were built by Imabari Shipbuilding in Japan. On 30 March 2018 the first ship was delivered. The ship had a capacity of 20,338 TEU.

In 2019, Evergreen announced it would be putting scrubbers on many of their ships in order to lower polluting emissions.[2] Ever Glory and all newer ships were built with scrubbers already installed. These scrubbers take up a considerable amount of space and the resulting capacity of these ships is slightly reduced to 20,160 TEU. The previous ships that did not have scrubbers when they were built had them retrofitted. This has reduced their capacity to 20,124 TEU.

Accidents and incidents

On 9 February 2019, the Ever Given collided with the ferry Finkenwerder, which was docked at a wharf on the river Elbe at the time. The Finkenwerder was heavily damaged.[3]

In March 2021, Ever Given ran aground and blocked the Suez Canal.[4]
