ajalawole: Sinking is rare these days because of the advanced technology. They can forecast weather, change route/course for safer passage. They can withstand and go through heavy storm because of their enormous size. Most of their disasters are caused by human error/factor. 59 Likes 3 Shares |

Bellfun: Its not about the length, width, or height but the total available space in the vessel from deck 1, deck 2, deck 3, deck4, deck 5, to the last deck including the open deck on the vessel. Put together 10 football pitches, fill the space with vehicles, trucks, bulldozers, cars and excavators. Every thing on that 10football pitches will go into that vessel from deck 1 to the last deck. The vessel can take almost 9,000 vehicles including heavy vehicles. Can a football field take 1,000 cars? 26 Likes 4 Shares
