Construction of the Largest Container Ship Ever Built | Mega Projects | FD Engineering

The largest cargo ship ever built is as large as four soccer fields, reaching 400 meters long and 63 meters wide. Thanks to the latest generation eleven-cylinder engine and revolutionary use of liquefied natural gas, it has enough power to move ten of Airbus’ largest aircrafts, the A380s. In just a few months, all nine ships currently under construction will carry up to 22,000 containers, setting a world record for transport that has previously been considered unattainable. Exclusive insights into CMA CGM’s factories in China, spectacular CGI sequences, and personal interviews with engineers in charge allow us to dive deep into the world of engineering and experience how a technological vision becomes a reality.
