"A strong display model for adult maritime enthusiasts that earns its Recommended status through a faithful recreation of the real ship, an accessible build, and solid price-per-piece value, though buyers should know upfront that the container-stacking sections are repetitive and playability is minimal. BrickScore 76.4 captures the consensus accurately."
The Maersk Dual-Fuel Container Vessel (40955) draws consistent praise as a faithful, impressive display piece and a relaxed meditative build, with owners repeatedly describing it as a highlight of their adult LEGO collection. The only recurring note of caution, raised by both expert builders and multiple owner reviewers, is that the container-stacking sections feel repetitious mid-build, though the finished model is considered well worth the experience. Across 65 owner ratings the set averages 4.45 out of 5, with LEGO's platform showing a 4.23 value-for-money score and 72% would-recommend rate, the latter being notably lower than the average rating suggests and worth acknowledging. BrickScore 76.4 reflects a solid Recommended consensus.
Where they split: The 72% would-recommend rate is meaningfully lower than the 4.45 average rating would predict, suggesting a segment of buyers who enjoyed the build but have reservations about recommending it to others, likely due to limited playability and the repetitive build sections.

"The design of the model, to celebrate the Ane Maersk is also quite accurate to the real ship, and with it being 60cm long, it's also a reasonably practical model to have on display, especially if you collect LEGO ships."
