There are more than 50,000 container ships currently active in the oceans. Have you ever wondered what the world's largest cargo ships, which transport the imported goods you use daily, look like? If so, then you have clicked on the right video. The first container ship in the world, Autocarrier, was launched in 1931 and had only 21 slots for containers. Compare that to today's average ship, which can carry around 24,300 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units). Isn't that insane? If you're a knowledge enthusiast and want to learn more about how these container ships operate, then watch this video till the end because in this video, I'll be discussing the five largest container ships in the world and some crazy facts about them.
But first, if you're new to this concept and want to understand what container ships are, don't worry-I'll explain it in simple terms. Container ships are giant vessels floating on the water, designed to transport a massive amount of quantities of goods in one journey across the globe. We can’t even imagine our world without these ships as the imported goods would take forever to reach us and the global trade would be much more expensive.
Now let’s get started with the video and find out if the container ship from your country makes it onto the list or not.
