    "Life inside the world's largest ships", shows like 30 seconds of "life inside"
  • Honestly blown away. Amazing how seamlessly everything is streamlined. Even at the end when she said that it can take up to 3 days...still...3 days for all of those containers is still incredible.
  • Not much around life on board. More of a history lesson.
  • @georgevcelar
    Seeing how these behemoths are built, it's amazing what we as a species can achieve, if only we put our BS aside and work together!

    This is why I switched to a career as a Somali pirate
  • @Sciguy95
    Wouldnt it be awesome if we could bring the guy that invented container shipping to our time and show him what our ships look like now?
  • @BLWard-ht3qw
    All the logistics that goes into the varying aspects of this is fascinating to me...don't know why, but it just is.

    I am impressed. over 20 thousand containers?? one ship !! that's insane man.. I have (one) container in my back yard and I feel like I have a huge monster there :(
  • in the Philippines.... especially in our province, if our neighbour is having a big and nice house, 90% they have a "seaman" (seafarer) in their family.... in our high school, almost 10% of the males would take maritime course in college for better opportunities and rewarding life.... and it amazes me to watch this knowing that for sure, some of them may have been working to the companies being mentioned here......
  • @trimley
    Living in Felixstowe England we see the biggest ships on a regular basis - never taken for granted
  • Im a maritime student and I'm always blown away on how beautiful this massive ships when you see one.
  • @lidarman2
    WOW. I get amazed when I see this large scale ship production and then go see what is takes to make a semiconductor fab. It's mind blowing that is takes so much to make it; whether it is a massive ship or a microchip.
  • @OJBLAQTV
    20000 containers on one ship? Gadamn it!! That's very great. Shout's to the engineers ❤
  • @mattorama
    I've done work at the Port of Newark, and it's truly amazing how they move these containers around.

    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.

    FYI, majority of the crews are Filipinos! Hardworking and dependable people.
  • @beeman2075
    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.
  • Just awesome how high tech shipping has become. These fabulous giants of the sea never fail to impress.
