http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o.../chinaship.jpg http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...chinaship4.jpg SHIP FROM CHINA - The Emma Maersk What a ship....no wonder 'Made in China' is displacing North American goods big time with this floating continent transporting goods across the Pacific in 4 days no less!!! This is how Wal-Mart gets all it's stuff from China . Get a load of this ship! 15,000 containers and a 207' beam! And look at the crew-size: 13 people for a ship longer than a US aircraft carrier which has a crew of 5,000 men and officers. Think it's big enough? Notice that 207' beam means it cannot fit through the Panama or Suez Canals . It is strictly transpacific. Check out the cruise speed: 31 knots means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive when carrying perishable goods. This ship was built in five sections. The sections floated together and then welded. The command bridge is higher than a 10-story building and has 11 cargo crane rigs that can operate simultaneously. Additional info: Country of origin - Denmark Length - 1,302 ft Width - 207 ft Net cargo - 123,200 tons Engine - 14 in-line cylinders diesel engine (110,000 BHP) Cruise Speed - 31 knots Cargo capacity - 15,000 Containers Crew - 13 people First Trip - Sept. 08, 2006 Construction cost - US $145,000,000 Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...chinaship2.jpg http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...chinaship3.jpg http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...chinaship5.jpg Editorial Comment! A recent documentary in late March on the History Channel, noted that most all of these containers are shipped back to China EMPTY! Yep you heard it right. We send nothing back on most of these ships. What does that tell you about the current Financial State of this country? |
Re: china cargo ship
They don't have to go back empty, I'm sure there is enough technology to develope those containers into prison cells. We can out source our Prison population and ship them to China to learn a few trades. ---I sure bet it would get us a reduction in repeat offenders. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: china cargo ship
Another example of outsourcing. When will it stop? Look at all the jobs we could have here filling those containers with American made goods.

Re: china cargo ship
It's not near as bad as it was.
3 years ago I was shipping paper to China from the port of Charleston SC for $385/container now it is close to $2000... Must not be as many empty! |

Re: china cargo ship
You need a big boat in order to cary all those leaded, and tainted food products to North America.
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif PJ Since a lot of Chinese-made products contain high levels of lead, please see below: The whole world is scared of China made 'black hearted goods'. Can you differentiate which one is made in the USA , Philippines , Taiwan or China ? Let me tell you how... the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code wherein the product was made. Example: all barcodes that start with 690.691.692 through 695 mean the products are MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan This is our human right to know, but the government and related department never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not like products 'made in China ', so they don't show in which country it is made. However, you may now refer to the barcode: remember if the first 3 digits are 690-695 then it is Made in China . 00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA 30 ~ 37 FRANCE 40 ~ 44 GERMANY 49 ~ JAPAN 50 ~ UK 57 ~ Denmark 64 ~ Finland 76 ~ Switzerland and Liechtenstein 628 ~ Saudi-Arabia 629 ~ United Arab Emirates 740 ~ 745 - Central America All 480 codes are Made in the Philippines Please inform your family and friends for them to be aware -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
