When did king kong become a universal unit of measurement!? When the Danish started to take over the world.

BulletMagnet Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 That tanker in the forground is only a wee one. Aircraft carries look huge becasue of their height/width. She's actually only 330m long. By comparison, Panamax container vessels are only 30m shorter than that, and the post panamax boats that have been in service for past 5 years are in excess of 360m long. Look at the chart on the right of this link for an idea of what I mean..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_maersk Worked on her and her sister Estelle. I tell you what, it ain't fun dropping decks/ lashing decks on them when there is hardly any underdeck and mostly deck load on a 23-wide, Maersk cross-over lash & belly bar configuration, in the rain.... I've probably stood there watching you do it too Since when do you work at Felixstowe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the one checking your lashings and moaning when you hadn't done them tight enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
