Impressive! Too bad it wouldn't fit into my fantasy marina slip.

" ...the size of four soccer fields"

Is that like a foot ball field?

I remember a time when America could have built that.

Almost as big as Bruce McCall's RMS Tyrannic, but does it have a polo field for those dreary mid-Atlantic crossings?

I always ask ... why ?

That thing is not designed to go from port to port like a Carnival cruise ... and there aren't too many places that can dock the thing, so it's destination can only be to one or two places.

Where are they .... the US ? .. Europe ?

What kind of logistics have to be in play in order for this thing to be utilitarian ?

I got a TON o' questions

If it’s the largest capacity container why don’t they say exactly how many Coulombs it can contain?

The first of 5 of these monsters.

This monster can move goods at a RIDICULOUSLY LOW unit cost per container.

An article I read stated that the cost to load/unload, in some ports (US West Coast), will exceed the cost of moving containers from the factory, to a Chinese port, loading them on the ship, and moving it across the Pacific.

Which is why they will be unloading in Mexico, not a US port, with the goods moving into the US by rail (Lazaro Cardenas).

Hard to get excited about another cog in the engine of the destruction of American manufacturing and power.

The draught stated in the article can’t be correct.

Eventually we will have ships that are 25 miles long, five miles wide and about 200 stories high.

That's about 1/5 the size of Long Island by the way.
