Container ships transport a combination of two standardized container sizes known as 20- or 40-feet equivalent units, abbreviated to TEUs and FEUs.
Container ships have grown significantly in size in over the last 20 years, in 2002 a large container ship would be able to carry approximately 6,500 TEU, today the largest container ships can now transport nearly 24,000 TEU.
So....how many years would it take to ship 33,000 containers? Uh...might want to keep up with the industry. Sucks to be shown wrong so easily.
