The H class is a class of container ships operated by the Danish shipping company Maersk Line. The ships were built by Hyundai Heavy Industries at their shipyard located in Ulsan, South Korea.
The ships are each 353 metres (1,158 ft 2 in) long and 53.5 metres (175 ft 6 in) wide. The ship has 21 container bays and can carry a maximum of 21 TEU containers wide on deck. They are not designed with a specific speed and draft in mind and thus can be deployed on both east-west and north-south maritime routes.
The first nine ships were ordered by Maersk in 2015. In 2018 Maersk announced it had ordered two additional ships from the same shipbuilder.
