The ship can carry 7,500 or so 40-foot containers, each of which can hold 70,000 T-shirts. On the voyage your correspondent took, the Eleonora was carrying Europe's New Year celebrations: 1,850 tonnes of fireworks, including 30 tonnes of gunpowder. Maersk Lines, the world's biggest container-shipping company and owner of the Eleonora, is betting that, given the current economics of world trade, the only way to go is yet bigger. In February it announced an order for 20 even larger ships with a capacity of 18,000 twenty-foot-equivalent units (TEUs), the standard measure of container size.
