Posted this yesterday and it fell through a crack, but….this is fekken yuge literally. A 400meter super container ship named Ever-Gentle… Too big for the straights.

Look at the name of the Company that owns it though…

According to Joei Kisen (Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture) who ordered the construction of Kasumi and Kashiyama Port , the total length is about 400 meters. "Evergentle" with a gross tonnage of approximately 220,000 tons. Departed from Imabari Shipbuilding Marugame Factory (Kagawa Prefecture), passed Kii Channel to Qingdao, China. It will be operated by a major Taiwanese shipping company.

At present, container ships are increasing in size in the global shipping industry. The container scale of 14,000 units is called "large", but the mega unit is 20,000 units. It is said that there is no port that can enter the country yet.

When the sun began to tilt, the ship approached the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. I went to the east slowly with the radar mast at the top of the hull folded to avoid hitting the bridge. (Masayuki Suzuki)
