How Brand New Container Ships are Cruelly Tested Before Launch
Sponsored
Welcome back to the our channel for a special feature on the design testing that a large container ship undergoes before construction begins but also when construction is finished. At 6:45 the narrations states a capacity of more than 180000 teu. I don't think we have riched that size of vessel yet. If you are going to do a video on a maritime subject you need to pronounce maritime terms correctly. “Quayside” is pronounced “key-side” not “Kway-side”. Amazing video. What excellent video filming! The pace of the narration is smooth and wonderful. Thanks for the educational experience. A container ship 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. Container ship capacity is measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). Typical loads are a mix of 20-foot (1-TEU) and 40-foot (2-TEU) ISO-standard containers, with the latter predominant. Today, about 90% of non-bulk cargo worldwide is transported by container ships, and the largest modern container ships can carry up to 24,000 TEU (e.g., Ever Ace). Container ships now rival crude oil tankers and bulk carriers as the largest commercial seaborne vessels.
