According to an article published in Telegraph UK, the World’s largest cargo ship has arrived in Europe.

MSC Gülsün

MSC Gülsün, has docked in Europe after its first voyage from northern China set a record for container ships.

The 400 meters (1,312ft) vessel is longer than 36 London buses and can transport 23,576 standard 20ft long shipping containers – known as “TEUs”.

Size of 36 buses

According to owner MSC Mediterranean Shipping, that means the ship can transport 8.35m microwave ovens, 223m bananas or 386m pairs of shoes in a single load.

To carry the equivalent cargo load by road would require 14,000 lorries or 1,350 Jumbo jets.
