New container ship design

[John Arton]

Maersk have unvieled there new design for container ships they have on order. Apart from being bloody ugly I love the bit where it says they have new designs for navigation lights and lifeboats, both of which I cannot see in the video.

Thank god I'm ashore, quite a few high G-Forces going to be experienced by crew members when she's battling through force 7 and upwards and those with false teeth had better keep them in their pocketins when she starts pounding and flexing in a seaway. Naval Architects first rule of thumb 'stuff the people who have to sail in her make her as uncomfortable as possible'

I didn't spot the lifeboats, where are they hidden?

To produce 50m gallons of ethanol, 150, 000metric tonnes of co2 is produced. Is it a green fuel?

At least they can see where they are going with the bridge effectively on the bows, some i see going out of the Solent appear to be just peeping above the boxes. Must be pretty boring sailing on one of those, kt

hi vic #4
good afternoon, perhaps the trees could absorb co2, but then dont they emit carbon dioxide ?
