History

The series was ordered from Hyundai Heavy Industries in 2007 to 2008 and delivered starting July 2010. The client of the series is the Hamburg-based Rickmers Group and were chartered to Maersk. The {{sclass2|Explorer|container ship|4}} and {{Sclass|Daniela|container ship|4}} are also based on the same design, but both broader.{{citation|title=Rickmers "Pearl" class"|type=datasheet flyer |year=2010 |publisher=Rickmers Group |url=http://www.rickmers.com/fileadmin/rl/download/pdf/pressreleases/13000Naming/100622_Datasheet_13000.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130130034852/http://www.rickmers.com/fileadmin/rl/download/pdf/pressreleases/13000Naming/100622_Datasheet_13000.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-30}}

The Maersk Edinburgh class, along with the Explorer class were designed for a slow steaming container service from Europe to East Asia. The beginning of the service with the abbreviations FAL 5 and AE8 was already planned for the summer of 2009, but was not realised due to the 2008 financial crisis. It will run through the ports of Le Havre, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge, Port Kelang, Singapore, Ningbo, Shanghai, Shenzhen-Yantian, Tanjung Pelepas, Port Kelang, and back to Le Havre. As of 2010, the ships of the Maersk Edinburgh class were introduced to the FAL5 / AE8 Far East Europe service.
