It staggers me that if you unloaded the largest one at Southampton Dock and laid all the containers end to end, the line would stretch to London. That's at least an hour on a fast motorway by car.
- notahacker 11y agoNot to mention that it's a highly relevant comparison, since many of those containers will be carried overland before/after unloading, and this gives an idea of just how much traffic it can generate, even if spread out over a few days and exit routes.
- crististm 11y agoIndeed, a relevant comparison. I've counted the visible portion of one of the ships and I've got a length of more than 38Km.
