SHIP is 1000 feet long & loaded with 10 layers of cargo containers.

I do NOT see anything in that photo that would stop such a ship.

HOW about we stop building bridges that large shipping ports have to navigate???

Problem with that is you have to have the bridge to move the cargo once it is transferred to land.

At the same time it has to handle all the other traffic.

The photo is obviously of a much smaller channel that doesn't handle large cargo ships. In any event, it need not *stop* the ship - just divert it. They tend to slide along the revetment (which is why it's curved).
