The world’s largest cruise ship hasn’t welcomed a single passenger aboard yet, but it’s already set the internet on fire. The Icon of the Seas — which recently completed its first set of ...
Furthermore, some of the world's main waterways such as the Suez Canal and Singapore Strait restrict the maximum dimensions of a ship that can pass through them. In 2016, Prokopowicz and Berg-Andreassen defined a container ship with a capacity of 10,000 to 20,000 TEU as a Very Large Container Ship (VLCS), and one with a capacity greater than ...
