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”.

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.
