Amerigo Vespucci container ship. Worker in the engine room of the Amerigo Vespucci container ship. This is one of the largest container ships in the world (as of 2012). It measures 365.5 metres long and can carry 14, 000 tonnes of fuel, which allows a complete rotation of Hamburg - Shanghai - Hamburg, via the Suez Canal on one tank. This diesel engine alone weighs 2, 300 tonnes. It is the most powerful ever built (as of 2012) developing a power output of 108, 920 hp and allowing a speed of 24 knots

This print showcases the impressive Amerigo Vespucci container ship, revealing a glimpse into its powerful engine room. As one of the largest container ships in the world, this technological marvel measures a staggering 365.5 meters long and has an astonishing fuel capacity of 14,000 tonnes. This allows it to complete a full rotation from Hamburg to Shanghai and back via the Suez Canal on just one tank. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the mammoth diesel engine that resides within this colossal vessel. Weighing an astounding 2,300 tonnes, it holds the title for being the most powerful engine ever built as of 2012. With a remarkable power output of 108,920 horsepower at its disposal, it propels this massive ship through water at an impressive speed of 24 knots. Intriguingly captured in this photograph is also a worker who stands amidst all these engineering wonders. He represents countless individuals who play crucial roles in ensuring smooth operations aboard such commercial giants - transporting goods across vast distances and connecting nations through trade. This print not only highlights human ingenuity but also emphasizes how technology and innovation have revolutionized global transportation and commerce. It serves as a testament to mankind's ability to conquer challenges posed by distance and bring people together through efficient shipping networks like never before.
