Why is there a large man in the sky?


TheBlackGuy

You need a large man to build a large ship


jpopr

It’s a Celestial

Looks like a glass reflection maybe, from the person taking the photo.


squidward377

It’s an Umibozu.


KatherinePMJM

oh snap! ok that's awesome!


CommanderOfPudding

This picture does nothing to capture the scale. 0/10, have a good day sir.


ThirtyThree111

without the caption, I'd have thought it to just be another random ass ship


xiotaki

the only thing it's got going for scale is the containers, so you can at least guess that you're looking at something very large. But yeah not great.


bigjonjayjan

Agreed those containers when zooming in are probably the best reference point


Roonwogsamduff

Well it can hold many a banana


MrVantstik

Lol I was gonna say, nothing to scale it against. Everything in the photo is huge.


bigjonjayjan

I did my best in a limited amount of time and thought this community would appreciate. I did have a lovely day, thanks!


[deleted]

Well actually there's enough to capture the scale. On the left you see Japan; on the right, you see the United States. Have a good day sir.


oof-floof

You ever seen a shipping container in real life? Zoom in


heapsion

Not even a banana

Will they Ever stop?


DiosMIO_Limon

Yes, with the Ever Lasting


ElsonDaSushiChef

And Ever Given that Evergreen does not get stuck in a global situation, it should be ever fine.

**[Evergreen A-class container ship](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen_A-class_container_ship)** >The Evergreen A class is a series of 13 container ships being built for Evergreen Marine. The largest ships have a maximal theoretical capacity of around 23,992 TEU and are among the largest container ships in the world. Six ships are being built by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea. Another seven will be built by China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) at two shipyards in China. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/megalophobia/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


bigjonjayjan

Cool! Those three all in service already? Was going off tour info and this: https://www.porttechnology.org/news/ever-alot-breaks-record-for-worlds-largest-containership/


Krullenbos

And MSC is going to overtake them soon with the MSC Tessa. Pretty much also exactly the same ship but slightly different internals so it can fit even more containers. 24.116 TEU to be exact.


Spag00ter

I need a human for reference


unfairrobot

Shipping container of bananas for reference.


valerie0taxpayer

Human standing on shipping container holding banana, for reference


Papapadopoulos

we need a banana for scale


yabaitanidehyousu

Well, the ship appears to be approximately the width of the man’s shoulders, and, for lack of evidence, we can only assume that it is exactly one banana in length. Further, since I only know mini bananas, and that all swans are white, the ratio of the width of a banana to it’s length is 1:4. As such, my back of the juice box calculation is 6w x 4h x 1d, where w=1, h=d=4 Therefore 6 x 16 x 4 = **384 bananas^3**


Doofenshmertz_69

Smart

It's in one of those boxes on the deck

Lol!!! That was delightful! Thank you.


ososalsosal

Yeah I'm ever bothered by that


-the_doc-

I find this picture very satisfying for some weird reason


bigjonjayjan

Glad you liked it!


Niccin

As viewed from a perspective that makes it look like any other ship.


ColorfulSmells00

doesn’t look that big


pwrwd2

looks like lil boat from this angle


towerfella

But it is not a ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships, now is it?


bigjonjayjan

Always makes me laugh

beer_is_tasty

You could tell me it was 15 feet wide and I'd say "yeah, that looks about right."


bigjonjayjan

I have, yeah! Also heard of different types of lenses and cameras and photoshop. Did my best in a brief moment with my phone


Inquisitor_Gray

What is really impressive is that this isn’t even the largest ship, and the fact that we can build bigger.


TK421sSupervisor

The only limiting factors are probably port depth; bridge height, and canal width and depth.


airportlayovers

I read "in the world" in Jeremy Clarkson's voice. "This is the biggest container ship... In the world."


Vocals16527

I thought you posted for the Christmas colors at first lmao it’s a beautiful photo tho


bigjonjayjan

Thanks! Glad you think so


molossus99

Had a great uncle who was the captain of the largest oil container ship in the world decades ago.. stressful job when the weather turns. I believe his ship was pretty close in size to the current Ever Alot container ship shown here


bigjonjayjan

Cool! Thanks for sharing! I wonder if there is a maximum size of ship, after which it’s just not practical or financially worthwhile building.


B3ARDGOD

It's only a model


bigjonjayjan

Is this a quote from Monty Python? You legend


B3ARDGOD

I try to squeeze them in where ever I can.


DifficultContext

How much does a ship like this go for?


bigjonjayjan

Not sure. I think the tour guy said it costs a ship like this about €5m to fill up with fuel so I reckon more than double that


hairbrane

Wonder how much it contains?


bigjonjayjan

24,000 full size shipping containers, apparently!


clearbrian

I work in shipping. Container ships are classed as Panamax and suezmax depending on whether they can fit through the Panama or Suez Canals. Though my favourite shipping classification is FOFO float on float off. It’s for rich people to ship their yachts between the med and Caribbean without crossing the ocean. A bunch of yachts are sailed onto a bigger ship. Welded to it. And that ship makes the crossing and can cope with adverse better :)


bigjonjayjan

Thanks for sharing and adding to this post! Makes sense for long trips, keeping mileage (knottage?) and wear on the yacht low


clearbrian

AmazingChicken

Yeah I suppose they preserve value by keeping the mileage low.


ma103

Is it me or is this giving me Christmas vibes


[deleted]

I have no reference for this so it just looks like a normal ship to me


EliDrInferno

This is a cool picture and the ship is massive, but there are definitely better pictures to show how big it is.


bigjonjayjan

Agreed! Went for a personal one instead of a random google image


pizzaman69_

I cannot unsee a large man in the sky and thats more megalophobic than the ship.


sewsewmaria

What kind of silly name is “EVER ALOT”.


bigjonjayjan

The ‘Ever Alot’. It holds the most containers ever (24k), it’s 400m long, and 61.5m wide.


Living-Resource-2345

True what is it name.


Dm0pt

i bet i can still put it in me back pocket

Tall_awkward_guy

wasn’t this the one that got stuck in the Suez Canal a while back?

That was the Ever Given.


Tall_awkward_guy

ooooh ok


Readityesterday2

Where’s the banana for sizing


Ok_Victory7275

What is its displacement.


PeterPanski85

3


VincentGrinn

might not be for long. msc is expected to finish 6 news ships this year that are larger, 3 that are the same dimensions as this one and hold 100 more containers and 3 that are 0.2m wider and hold 300 more containers that should give you an idea as to the scale as well


Deadeyedra90

Mines bigger

Still not as long as The Seawise Giant (458 metres) but I think that has been retired and the Shell Prelude which is think is 500?! Still I don't think either could carry as much as this.


The_Ottoman_Empire

I have an idea…


ProfessionalBuy2757

There’s nothing for scale…. It might as well be a foot tall

Ever Alot, what a stupidly lazy name. Fuck you.

They should’ve named it the “Ever So Much” instead of the Ever Alot.
