Why are ships getting bigger? | NHK. A gigantic ship that locals in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture said was a place where "unbelievable things are being built" will set sail for the world at the end of 2023.
The height is equivalent to a 25-story building, the total length is 400 meters, and the number of containers that can be loaded is 24,000. Behind the construction of such a huge ship are global trends in the maritime industry and a sense of crisis among Japanese companies.
