{television} extreme engineering; container ships (2004)

Follow along as Danish shipbuilders construct the greatest cargo-bearing sea vessel that humankind has ever seen, a massive ship with an enormous storage capacity and the largest diesel engine ever created. Around the world, ambitious engineers continue to design modern wonders to revolutionize global industry, and this installment from the popular Discovery Channel series captures one such monumental leap in technology.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** I didn't really understand what made these ships so special other than the fact that they're really big and carry stuff, but other than that there's nothing that's interesting about them. It was mostly the ships moving in and out of ports. We get it: they're big and difficult to maneuver into port. It also featured cargo being loaded and unloaded and repairs being made. I could have done without this episode and was glad when it was over.
