The only reason these container monstrosities exist is the greed of consumers. Don't blame the commercial operators, they are simply reacting to the demands of their customers who are distributing these imports to satisfy consumer demands! Cheapest is best, apparently!

I wonder how many tugs it takes to dock her ......and not many ports can handle that big a ship.

As far as I could see when it docked at Thurrock there were 4 tugs,it took a month of preparation for the arrival of the ship.
