Quantum is the name of a new container ship concept introduced by DNV. The new concept is based on both technical and market research and innovation and is designed to transport more cargo while using less fuel and with a reduced environmental impact.
The new container ship concept is designed to meet the perceived market needs. It has a design speed of 21 knots, but can operate efficiently at speeds between less than ten knots and more than 22 knots. A beam of 42.5 metres gives it good stability while its novel 49-metre “Widedeck” design increases its container capacity.
