Step inside the engineering of giant container ships and see how 400-meter, 24,000-TEU vessels are built, powered, tested, repaired, and upgraded. Follow the shipbuilding process from CNC-cut steel plates and 2,200-ton mega blocks to robotic welding, cell guides, hatch covers, cargo lashing, giant marine diesel engines, 300-ton crankshafts, propellers, shaft systems, LNG fuel equipment, hull coatings, and sea trials. See how dry docks inspect corrosion, repair propellers, overhaul pistons, and return these ocean giants to service as fast as possible. Then explore the next generation of maritime engineering: methanol, LNG, shore power, rotor sails, and hard sails. This documentary reveals why a container ship is really a floating industrial plant built to move global trade across the world.
