🚢 Did You Know? – The World’s Biggest Container Ship
• 🌊 The MSC Irina is currently the largest container ship in the world!
• 🧱 It can carry a jaw-dropping 24,346 containers (TEU) — that’s enough to hold over 240,000 cars or 450 million laptops!
• 📏 It stretches nearly 400 meters long — longer than four football fields — and is about 61 meters wide.
• ⚙️ Built in 2023 by Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group in China, it sails under the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) flag.
• 🌍 Designed for fuel efficiency and lower emissions, it’s one of the greenest mega-ships ever built.
• ⚓ Only a few ports in the world are big enough to handle it — they need deeper harbors, giant cranes, and reinforced docks.
• 💡 “Biggest” here means largest by container capacity (TEU), the standard unit for measuring how many 20-foot containers a ship can carry.
