Hamburg is the 9th largest (busiest) port in the world. In the year 2007 it handled 9.9 millions containers (20ft units - 40 ft. units are counted as 2). The ship shown here called the "Monte Pascoal" belongs to a Hamburg Shipping Company. It can carry up to 5552 TEUs - 20 ft. containers - including 1365 Reefer containers. This ship is now-a-days only a medium size container vessel. Today the largest container ships of the world are the Emma Maersk and her sister ships which can carry more than 11,000 TEUs. Don't ask what their fuel consumption is!
