SHIP FROM CHINA


What a ship....no wonder 'made in China' is displacing North American goods big time with this floating continent transporting the goods in 4 days no less!!!



This is how Wal-Mart gets all its stuff from China . Get a load of this ship!

15,000 containers and a 207' beam! And look at the crew-size for a ship longer than a US aircraft carrier which has a complement of 5,000 men and officers.

Think it's big enough? Notice that 207' beam means it was NOT designed for the Panama or Suez Canal . It is strictly transpacific. Check out the cruise speed: 31 knots means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive carrying perishable goods.

This ship was built in three or perhaps as many as five sections. The sections floated together and then were welded. The ship is named Emma Maersk. The command bridge is higher than a 10-story building

and has 11 crane rigs that can operate simultaneously.

The irony of life is that, by the time you're old enough to know your way around, you're not going anywhere.
