By eyeballing an Emma Maersk diagram, I think you could get three more stacks of containers, for ~5% more capacity.

Related question: if they wanted 5% more capacity in the Emma Maersk, what kept them from just building it that way? Are the sizes of these ships a fuel and utilization efficiency optimization problem?
