@B Babbich, so 4 American Stop-Go fields are 438.8 metres long, easy.
Stop-Go because there is about 16 seconds of play and then they go talk to the coach for 5 minutes, weird.

They are probabbly just want to tell how big is are

The first choice, switching fuels, will also increase the cost of fuel. Fuel oil analysts calculate the difference in price between HFO and LSFO of around $200 per tonne.

These videos are great, but too short. If this was 12 minutes I'd still watch it.
If it were that long, they would run out of things to say, killing the amazing simple conciseness of the videos.
Tom Scott has a similar, but longer, video on container ships. Or look up the BBC Box.
if it was twelve minutes it would be another vsauce
i wont, im kinda grateful that youtube still has some videos that arent full of fillers to reach the 10 minute mark and earn more money :p
but if it was 3 minutes, you'd still watch it.
I've gone into one of these ships which carries cars. My uncle was the captain so we got to have a tour around the place. Absolutely massive

Am I the only one that read the title as “Humans for sale”?
No, not just you
Hol up
You're the only.
Hmmmmm, that sounds suspicious.
Says scale Genius
These do not dock in the us? That means that the container ships I have seen so far in person are no where near as big
There are many big going to the us bit the Mærsk triple-e series routes from Singapore to Rotterdam europe. And sometimes even comes to Sweden where i live! Cause Sweden have Gothenburg wich is one out of only three European ports than can handle this big beautys, cause they will need deep waters and wide waterways and high cranes
Daniel Weldon yeah cause mærsk sealand used to flagg most of their ships to Norfolk but not nowadays. Most big ships come to europe(where i live) and also to asia, many don't come to the us as they are to big to pass the panama canal(Panamax ships) and they are also to big and do much draught to get in to many ports, the ships are growing more mighty, big and powerful but the ports don't grow whit them, my local port(Gothenburg) is one of 4 european ports that can handle those beasts but to my port they can't come in fully loaded as they will be too deep for the shipping channel so we have to make the port entrance 4 meters deeper so that they can come in fully loaded
Bijan Izadi there are only a handfull of ports big enough for those ships like Roterdam (netherlands) and shanghai (china)
There are no ports in the US with the required draft depth for the largest container ships.
Leon Trotsky I live in Norfolk!
That is how My phone got shipped here
Makes it sounds badasshuh
It couldve also came by plane tho lol. Unless u know exactly which boat at what port exactly the time of unloading and the exact truck that drove it to the store lol.
thanks for ruining the party
It could have come from a plane a boat a van a train so u do not know

Probably bigger than yours
3.135,14 bananas for scale.
@@nickleh6515 Thank you. I wasn't able to sleep without knowing that.
Even with the panama canal expanded, the msc oscar can't use the canal. The locks are still too small for these kind of ships and that's why a 4th set of locks is planned and it's probably being designed right now
Is that actually feasible given the constraints in the water supply from Gatun lake?
It may be unnecessary because of the north west passage opening
Your serious
is it finished now?
Yep just looked and she is too long too wide and too deep! As for using the north west passage that is unlikely to be much of a rout do the fact that if it ever opens enough for shipping it will still be for only an extremely short time in late summer early fall. Not to mention plagued with icebergs.
I wonder if we will make spaceships this big in the future.
ikr that would be Mind Boggling
+oldi184 Probably bigger. If shipping across the Uk is done by truck and inter-nation trade by ship, then inter-planetary would e done by much larger ships, due to the fact that space travel is slow and more goods need shipping.
+Hirsh Kabaria I believe in the future, when we are figuring out how to travel near light speed, we will send out micro-sized ships that have the ability to go at extremely fast speeds, then we will work our way up to larger ships that could hopefully warp space to travel faster than light!
+Inky Hip Yes and in those smaller ships have small cargo holds, with a space for the crews personal stuff/provisions and the rest dedicated to shipping goods (if that is what they decide to do) and then there will be a nonstop line of goods being shipped (which sounds pretty efficient for the time being), until bigger ships with bigger holds are made.
+Inky Hip Gravitational waves require an extreme amount of energy. I doubt we are going to be using that any time soon, if ever.
I've been in the international logistics community for almost 20 years - this is the best short form explanation I've seen. I will be using this as a reference material for future things.
I’m just waiting until a ship becomes 1/5 of the Pacific
At this point lets make a bridge.
there will never be a ship as big as your mom

What is a globally recognized unit of measurement he could use. Please tell us I’m sure Vox would love to know as well.
A football field is the same length everywhere in the world.
Also tell me how much easier it would be for you to imagine the length if I he said 400 meters.
@@mlawsesports7029 modern problems require modern solutions.
So its been only 60 years that some1 said "Guys, lets put all of it into a rectangular box and loading them will be easier?" and for thousands of years no1 even thought about it?
Is there another major improvement out there that is so obvious and easy that we just don't see it?
A bigger box.
Lots of them. Unfortunately, the easiness of such an innovation is an illusion. It seems easy after the hard part is over, which is that it needs to occur to somebody.
There's often good reasons why it only came at a certain time.
For example the communication for end-to-end shipping did not exist for quite a while. Container sized boxes are simply too big to move with hand, you need cranes, flat bed trucks and container lifts. At the same time you need a certain level of global trade that actually makes something like the container viable, not to mention a cheap durable material to build them from.
Only once those innovations were made did containers suddenly become a good idea.

That same boat prevented stuff from moving across the Suez canal
**Evergreen intensifies**
That idea of putting a football field in a box was absolute genius.
Now if they lower the height of the boxes, they could transport even more.
World: metric n imperial
Murican: footbol
Just metric, since out of the 195 countries on earth only 3 of them use metric which is 1.5% out of all countries.
Americans, Canadians and British folk use imperial. For some reason, people seem to forget about those other two. Because AmErIcA bAd
In my time in elementary school we were taught using imperials.(Philippines)
Shamaur pretty sure Canadians use both. I personally am more fluent in meters though
More like footbawl
If you want to get the entire (and truly amazing) story behind the shipping containers get yourself a copy of "The Box" by Marc Levinson. It describes the entire journey of Malcom McLean from getting his first truck to having the biggest fleet in the world.
I had no expectations when I started the book but was absolutely blown away by everything this guy had to overcome to bring us now to where we are.
"Had to put the stick in a box"
- Roddy Rich circa 2019
Imagine of one of these boats randomly gets stuck at a canal and blocks a big percentage of global trade...
_W a i t -_
HAHAAH
Congratulation, u are the 1000th person to say that
Stealing comments. Not cool fbi not cool
Ok seriously that ship is ridiculously huge... Like, I had no idea any vehicle of any kind that big existed
I would love it if your followup video discussed environmental impacts of container ships. Also, has this newer model ship made any technological advances in the way of energy efficiency?
Basically the bigger the ship is the cheaper it is, and that's because it becomes more efficient. You use less oil per shipped ton and so it becomes more environmentally friendly.
RBuckminsterFuller Along with that, yes you could say that boats are harming our oceans, but what is your other option for getting things easily overseas without costing a lot? Flying it over? but isnt that another way of harming the world? You can't truck it across the ocean either, so what is your solution. Also if just all of a sudden stop shipping things like we are now, a lot of things you see in the grocery store will jump in price.
2 MILL I'm all for ocean shipping. I think airships are an interesting alternative too, though. And of course trains are still awesome.
My dad work at port, it is a sight to see these ships at dry docks !
For size comparison, here’s a bowling ball on a rollercoaster
Am I the only one that thought it looked like a massive hot dog that can carry your stuff from the thumbnail?
0:10 of course the MSC Oscar looks like a giant hotdog...
They're ships; not boats.
they probably wont correctr it tbh
I know they won't but other people need to know. At least 4 or 5 people do now lol
In Logistics we call them vessels. Got to see many of these beauties from different steam ship lines at the port of Long Beach and Ensenada. Buque in Spanish, Vessel in English :)
Correct. An they will REMAIN 'ships' until a hugely more gargantuan one comes along that can put one of these vessels aboard as its 'boat.'
“Dude look at that huge cargo boat!”
Anyone else got this in the recommended page 5 years later in 2020???
Since we can't got out and do anything in 2020, CZcams suddenly realized we'd already watched everything else.
These things are so amazing they can also wipe out 12% of global trade commerce by simply turning left!
Imagine getting stuck in suez canal.
I can't be the only one who thought the thumbnail said "Human for sale"
More about containers and logistics than boats to be honest.
Check out the CZcams channel named "wendover productions" they have great videos on similar topics
Who else read "human for sale"?
lmao yeah i read that too haha

i got one word to say
evergreen
when I first heard about the shipping boom at that time in geography class I couldn't believe that containers were one of the biggest inventions of the time and no one thought of it earlier. It was some easy points in exams tho just pointing it out if there was a boom at that time in a county.
My father is in one of these giants but much smaller 300m. He's been working with the company (MSC) for almost 20+ yrs
Put it under a hydraulic press
Anyone see this suddenly pop up on their feed after the EverGiven situation?
If they make the ship big enough, it doesn't even have to leave the harbour as it reaches to the destination harbour at the same time.
So many things that have impacted the world we don't know about and how it has impacted us and has been taken for granted.
We need a video on freight trains. The longest coal train hauls more than the largest cargo train.
Then it was Oscar
Now, it's Ever Given
Note: It can now be lifted by the moon 🌑
Americans: "Size of four football fields". That has nothing to do with the foot..
No one:
Boat: has hotdog

It's for mating
Malcolm McLean was the lateral thinking genius that sparked the connection.
I think it’s more interesting to compare 4 football fields it makes your mind go “Wow that’s huge” because you already know how big 1 football field is
Can we also talk about how 15 of the largest container ships put out the same amount of pollution as 760 million cars .
Adam no :)

It's because they use cheap crude oil.
