The length of the vessel is 367 m (1,204 ft) and the beam is 43 m (141 ft). The vessel's deadweight is 115,700 metric tons with a gross tonnage of 97,933. The maximum power of the Sulzer 12RT-flex96C low-speed common rail main engine of Gudrun Maersk is 68,640 kW (93,211 bhp)at 102 rpm. Gudrun and her 5 sister ships use exhaust heat recovery and cogeneration, producing 6 MWe and reducing the need for diesel generators.
