Considering Mærsk have been doing this for more than 100 years now, I'm gonna go with 'they probably know what they are doing'.
Since this ship was able to dock at Langelinie in Copenhagen (which quite frankly, isn't the most adaptive harbour in the world), I am pretty sure harbours like Rotterdam and whatnot can handle it.
Sure, it cannot sail through the Panama Canal, but as mentioned in the article, it is for the Europe-Asia route, which tends to go south around Africa anyway. Because the Suez canal wouldn't be able to handle the 5th largest ship in the world anyway.
Edit: It turns out I am wrong, they can actually use the Suez Canal (even the Triple E mentioned in the article).
