These ocean giants not only challenge the limits of naval engineering, but they also lead the way in global shipping. Container ships are classified by their size, measured in TEUs, which is the industry standard for assessing their carrying capacity. A TEU is a standard shipping container measuring 6 metres long, 2.5 metres wide and almost 3 metres high. These maritime colossi are not only impressive for their massive size, but they are also more efficient. These mega-ships provide fewer trips, less fuel burned and a lower environmental impact. However, efficiency goes beyond size – the ship’s design, fuel efficiency and operational capabilities are also crucial in determining its effectiveness. Join us as we discover and analyse these giants of the seas and see how they are shaping the future of global trade!
