We believe that we have all seen Titanic, a film describing a beautiful love story. However, we regret that the relationship between the hero and heroine in the story ended tragically.


Today, we are going to introduce you to a container freighter larger than the Titanic. It is said to be the world's largest container freighter, with a length of over 400 meters and the capacity to carry 21,000 containers. This container freighter is named Taiwan.


Taiwan was officially launched in 2017 and has been in operation for almost five years. However, many of us are still unfamiliar with it.


It is understood that the world's largest cargo ship can reach a length of over 400 meters and a width of almost 60 meters. As mentioned earlier, this cargo ship can carry over 20,000 containers.


In terms of design, this ship has a certain storage space constructed below the deck, where twelve layers of containers can be stacked. Additionally, on the deck, the designer has implemented the capability to stack a total of twenty-four layers of containers. The weight of this cargo ship can even reach 210,000 tons.


Our introduction to Taiwan today mainly follows the route of its first transportation mission. The initial step of anchoring the ship is crucial. For many small ships, anchoring does not pose significant technical difficulties.


However, it is unrealistic to use a small anchor chain for such a large ship. Official data reveals that the weight of the two anchor chains alone reaches several hundred tons. Anchoring, therefore, becomes a matter that requires careful attention.


Before loading the cargo, the captain faces a major challenge in safely mooring the ship. The situation is tense, and it takes approximately two hours to complete the first berthing with the cooperation of several small boats.


But is the loading task really as easy as we might think? Of course not. During the loading process, we must carefully check the detailed data of each container. Additionally, we need to plan the placement of the containers because an improper angle of placement can significantly increase the risk of accidents during transportation.


So, can a simple placement plan guarantee foolproof results? Clever designers have answered this question. They have also allocated a certain space for the storage and distribution of seawater. In the transportation process, our captain can always adjust the distribution of seawater based on the actual situation to ensure the cargo ship maintains balance.


During the transportation process, aside from the risk of capsizing, there are many unpredictable and dangerous events such as sudden pirate attacks and onboard fires. It is hard to believe, but there are still pirates in the twenty-first century.


These uncertainties require our captain and the ship's staff to have a high level of resilience and self-rescue abilities.


We believe that as long as we are familiar enough with this process in normal times, even if there is a real emergency, the staff on board will be able to turn it into a success.
