Isn't that exactly what suezmax means? SuezBarely?
If you ask for a Xm long ship, you get an Xm long ship. That's not a design flaw because it crashes more easily than a smaller ship when not maintained/piloted properly...
Edit: if the Suez officials are serious about this, they should limit the size of vessels to the current maximum.
- doctor_eval 5y agoI think the point is, the Suez canal operators say "you must be no more than THIS BIG to pass through the canal". So shipbuilder builds a ship THIS BIG and it doesn't fit. [0] I think that's the canal's fault, not the shipbuilder's. [0] in fact, most of the time it fits, but sometimes it doesn't.
- FridayoLeary 5y agoNo. You don't completely fill up your computer memory. Whenever we are given a certain amount of space within which to operate, when smooth flow of traffic is essential, we aim to stay below the absolute maximum limits, in order to avoid fatal bottlenecks. This is very logical, and you can see it in all aspects of life.
- LatteLazy 5y agoYou don't fill up computer memory because it's cheap to buy more and catastrophic to run out. Imagine if you were paid to fill computer memory, and the only way to stay in business was to be 99% full. You'd fill your memory then. And that's logistics. That's by ships are so big and full and why planes are over booked and why Suez hasn't been enlarged more.
