Maersk is having the largest ship ever built in S. Korea. It holds a whopping 18,000 full size shipping containers! Great, more Chinese crap will make it's way easier throughout the world! This time-lapse video shows the building of the largest ship in the world. It’s the first Maersk Line Triple-E vessel, which was constructed at the DSME shipyard in Okpo, Korea. The video shows three months of time, and consists of 50,000 photographs taken during that period. The project was a collaboration between the Discovery Channel and Maersk, a Danish company that’s the world’s largest operator of container ships. Each Triple E ship measures 1,312 feet (400m) long and 194 feet (59m) wide. The length is just two meters short of a quarter mile. In terms of capacity, the ships can hold a whopping 18,000 standard shipping containers.

I have just one question. How long does it take to stop it. (Bring it to a halt) Surely there is only a few places a ship that size can berth.
I would suspect they only plan on going in major ports. China, US and Europe. Plenty of places to dock that monster.
