container ships
Box-hauling ocean vessels
Container ships are large cargo vessels designed to transport standardized shipping containers—the rectangular steel boxes stacked on trucks and trains.
These ships revolutionized global trade by making loading and unloading vastly more efficient than older methods of handling loose cargo.
The largest can carry over 20,000 containers: Container ships backed up at the port for weeks.
