In the photo where it looks quite full, the visible edge containers appear to be about 10x24x28 or 6,720 not accounting for missing ones on the top layers. In a photo from today it looked closer to only 6,000. Of course this methodology may be flawed or have some bad assumptions. Like containers below the visible deck layer??!
- tyingq 6y agoPretty sure they would all be above and visible. Here's the ship empty: http://www.shipspotting.com/photos/middle/7/2/1/2892127.jpg http://www.shipspotting.com/photos/middle/7/2/1/2892127.jpg And a good photo to confirm your 28 bow-to-stern number: https://photos.fleetmon.com/vessels/ever-given_9811000_2641005_Large.jpg https://photos.fleetmon.com/vessels/ever-given_9811000_26410...
- neogodless 6y agoNice! There do appear to be gaps reducing that 28 a bit, too... So I can't imagine there are 6,720 containers on the ship today.
- gk1 6y agoThey hold containers inside, too. Or else the ship would get too top-heavy. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dd/72/f2/dd72f2e14fa997abad8123602fb31cf1.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dd/72/f2/dd72f2e14fa997abad81...
- neogodless 6y agoOh wow. Not enough to double it but this could get it right to around 10,000 forty foot containers or 20,000 TEU.
