Life Inside the World's Largest Container Ships Ever Created
Sponsored
Welcome back to the our channel for a discussion about what life is like onboard the world’s biggest container ships and how these massive vessels accomplish their important jobs 24/7. I'm glad other people are awed by these ships and containers and the shipping industry. I was in traffic management when I was younger and was filled with awe back then. I thought I was the only person who felt that way. I'm heartened to see others agree. I do know from the song and the musical that Sting also feels that way about ships, just not specifically cargo ships: "Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers, The noise at the end of the world in your ears, As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea, And the last ship sails. A container ship (also called boxship or spelled containership) is a cargo ship that carries all of its load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a technique called containerization. Container ships are a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport and now carry most seagoing non-bulk cargo. The narrator's mention that the largest ships can carry more than 20,000 containers is absolutely mind boggling, from the sheer tonnage amounts involved.
