Each year, more than 100 million containers are shipped across the globe on containerships that can now stretch the length of three soccer fields or more.
Despite a large number of containers shipped, accidents are relatively rare, with the best estimates saying that less than 1,500 containers are lost from ships each year on average.
Com: Heartland: Looked up the value of the MOL Comfort loss, between 300 and 400 million dollars, the ship itself 66 million, so just shy of HALF A BILLION DOLLARS. An illustration of much value in goods are being transported on these ships. P.S. loved the info, HATED the voice over. Please, don't do that.
Com: Rivera: these massive ships are ruining or destroying our oceans and 1 day God will wipe clean the earth and wipe us all out for destroying his planet and will start fresh with human mankind all over again !
