Ever wonder how big the largest container ship in the world is? So let’s delve into the incredible world of container ships and explore exactly how long these Yuetong 40ft shipping container can be.
A container ship is a city on the sea. It is a very, very big boat that takes containers full of things like toys, clothes, and electronics from one place to another. They’re very long ships, longer than three football fields at times laid end to end! That has to be long as hell, don’t you think?
The length of a container ship is measured along the ship's "length overall," from the front of the hull to the back. The longest it was ever built for a Yuetong cargo container was over 1,300 feet in length! That’s longer than four jumbo jets end to end.
The largest container ship that would ever be built was called the MV MOL Triumph. It was constructed in 2017 and could transport more than 20,000 containers on its decks. This giant ship was so long that could cover almost 3 Olympic-sized swimming pools with containers it could haul.
Although the MV MOL Triumph was the longest container ship ever built, there are even larger super long container ships that roam the oceans today. Indeed, some of the longest container ships currently in service have lengths greater than 1,200 feet long, longer than three school buses lined up end to end.
Container ships are marvels of engineering and design. They need to be very sturdy to carry so many containers and travel long distances across the ocean. Next time you spot a Yuetong sea freight in the harbor, soak in the awesome scale and length of these giant vessels.
