The biggest container ship in the world. The Jules Verne, 396 meters long, 54 meters wide, can carry 16,000 twenty-foot containers. It is ready to carry all the goodies Elite, around the world.

They are probably just going find a small island and make it float around the world. 
@Patrick-68000 - Are you sure about the dimensions?
It looks as if it is at least 1/4 width versus length (although of course the lense may be foreshortening the image).
There are aprox 25 containers on the long side x 20ft each = 500feet or aprox 150m not 400m

I've seen that - it's HUGE!
Well that solves a mystery for me, thank you.
We were having lunch at the beach on Sunday and on the horizon I could see a massive object. Initially it looked like an island but as I knew there was no land-mass out there I was confused.
Looking through some binoculars I could see that it was a ship but it was so big, I had never seen one that size. So this is why.
EDIT: Hmm, looking at it's destinations it might not have been this one but a sister ship. Still, a beast.

There is containers on the bridge and there is also containers under the bridge. The bridge is 20 meters above the water, and you can put nine floors of containers on the bridge. In the photo, it's probably, of containers of 40 feet long. And you notice in the photo there is paths between each row of containers. ---
Wikipedia definition:The twenty-foot equivalent units, or TEUs, is an approximate unit of container that includes both containers 20 feet and 40 feet. It is used to simplify the calculation of the volume of containers in a terminal or in a ship. A 20-foot container is one TEU and a 40-foot container is 2.
