This ship is bigger than an aircraft carrier and has as much power as 900 cars
CMA CGM
It's big: longer than an American aircraft carrier and more than 20 stories tall, the ship is capable of carrying 18,000 twenty-foot containers.
According to the French shipping company's website,the ship has a latest-generation engine "as powerful as 900 Ford Focus cars[,] and her 21 knots thrust is equivalent to that of 11 Boeing 747-400 engines."
CMA CGM
Most ships of similar or larger size are usually unable to be accommodated at American ports, and many of the current cranes simply cannot manage stacking containers 10 high, as is possible on the Ben Franklin.
This will soon change, however, thanks to a $4.6 billion investment into the port of Long Beach including a new $1.31 billion terminal.
