i cant imagine the wake from that beast

 

[cichlaguapote]

I guesstimated it with how high they're stacking them(up to 6 high or higher) and at it wide enough for 22 containers in each row(in pic from the back there's 22 containers wide) and then divided 1302/40 and got well alot.. somewhere in the 4k range.. could be off though.

thats the furture of ocean cargo....... i believe they are building a canal in costa rica. The panama canal is not big enough to handle these ocean giants...... each one of those monster that pull into our harbor is costing us hundred of jobs....... everything is getting out sourced..........
