Maybe. That's a lot of barges. Remember that you then have to go and unload the barges, and there are 20,000 containers.

- imglorp 6y ago20,000 TEU, not containers.
- alisonkisk 6y agoWhat's the difference, for purposes of estimating workload?
- Clewza313 6y agoContainers are 1 or 2 TEUs, although doubles are more common for long distance, so you're probably looking at 10,000-ish containers.
- rmccue 6y agoTEU being Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit, and containers generally are either 20ft or 40ft long.
- tyingq 6y agoYou can see from pictures that most of the containers are 40 foot ones. Also, the ship doesn't appear to be at full capacity to me. See https://imgur.com/a/b8neNkR https://imgur.com/a/b8neNkR (top is as full a picture as I could find, bottom is current). My guess is ~6000 40 foot containers in its current state.
