I did a rough count of containers on the deck when a previous poster showed a container ship. My estimate was over 2000 containers that were visible. And I had no way of knowing if there were more below the deck. Think about all the trucks that have to move in and out of the port when these guys land.
Today's largest container ships (Mearsk line E-class) can carry over 18,000 TEU (TEU=Twenty-foot equivalent unit, which is the size of a standard 20-foot long intermodal container).
Makes your head spin, doesn't it? |
