The Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCV) will take over shipping routes between Asia and Europe, as smaller containerships are no longer seen as competitive when it comes to unit costs. The Triple-E container ship is 2x as long as the Titanic, 5x longer than an Airbus 380. Each contains as much steel as 8 Eiffel Towers and has a capacity of 18K TEU. Those containers would fill more than 30 trains, each 1.6 km long and stacked 2 containers high. Inside those containers, you could fit 36K cars or 863M tins of baked beans.
