This photo drives home the scale...
With the size of the ships coming through, I’m surprised they never devised a lock system yo raise and lower the water levels.

My understanding is the weather caused this. A severe dust storm with high winds. No visibility and no control against the wind due to the profile of the ship.
I would think a ship like this would have pretty detailed navigating systems.
The front of the ship starts to go off the correct line, the motors power one side or the other to correct for example
It just surprises me that this would happen. For sure, someone who was steering messed up big time!
Evergreen is a Taiwan company, and the headline in one of the papers yesterday was "National Embarrassing!"

And look at all the ships waiting when you zoom out.

The winds blew the stern of the ship off, not the bow.

@jon-nyc Ther's got to be what? 1800 on there? 2000? Those things weigh 4 tons empty...The ship itself is 200,000 tons. The max payload for most of those containers is 30 tons. Guess an average payload of 16 tons for shits and giggles... You're getting up close to 250,000 tons and that's a conservative guess.

I wonder how much that Captain makes a year and whether he feels it is worth it right now?

Look on the bright side, he's got a great story for his grandchildren.
I was only joking

It’s one of the largest container ships in the world.
Its max capacity is 20,000 containers.

20,000 8’ by 40’? That’s what I based my guess on.
In that picture, l’m counting 9-10 rows high, 24 long, and 10 deep (give or take). I was figuring those to be the typical 8’ x 40’ giving a max of 2400. Obviously I am missing something...

Is this one at max capacity?
