Unique Look Inside One of the Biggest Container Ships in the World | Richard Hammond's Big

Richard Hammond visits the massive Marie Maersk container ship and gets a unique look at how the hollow interior makes it capable of storing up to 18,000 containers.

could you check if my USB cable I ordered from China is on there somewhere?

He dragged in the guy who designed the ship to build a lego set of his own ship. Epic

"I've come to the ship's kitchen..."
"Galley!"
"...whatever..."

Remember when Hammond built an ambulance that had an ejector seat for the patient

And you never thought a few of us might like to see the engine room

[shazmosushi]

Wow, this is ridiculously cool. I have never seen the inside of a cargo ship and never realized that the shipping containers get stacked below deck, and even below sea level! It makes sense! Great job, Hammond

This is actually a speed boat, just looks big compared to Richard.

[sailorrider]

Proud to be a seafarer...proud to be a marine engineer....but Richard missed out showing the most important place on the ship.. The nervous system of the ship.. The mighty engine room....

I think the reason why I love watching Hammond is because he’s just as curious and passionate about what he’s showing. He loves to learn, he loves the magnitude. Seeing him being amazed by huge things or scales makes him relatable. He’s probably my favorite showman.

It's impossible to appreciate the size of these ships until you've seen one up close. These things are mind boggling.

[HazyIndustries]

the scariest thing is not knowing what's really inside any of them containers

[pf]

So humongous and yet so small in these vast oceans.

The engineering behind this ship is pretty cool. Wonder how they calculated all the stress this ship will handle and find the correct material to use to construct this beast. Engineering is the beat!

[transatlantc]

So cool. It might be obvious but the physics of the stacked containers is pretty amazing too, imagine the weight on the bottom container with 20 others on-top of it, especially considering I think the containers only touch/connect at the corners..!

[SoapinTrucker]

Just imagine all the interesting freight in those containers, that is ;)

i would love to hear jeremy yells in the empty space

[gustavoguti]

Anything will look huge if you compare it to Hammond

[Arborpress]

There's something comfy/cozy to me about sleeping aboard one of these in middle of a snow storm.

Forget the politics, wars, big powers and their interests...
I am grateful just to be alive at this time to see a marvel of technology like this ship.
Simply: awesome!

Imagine if one of those ships would stuck in a small canal? That would be a disaster
