I'm guessing a crew of 25, plus "familly". Or less. Total capacity is probably around 40 persons. Maybe 50.
9200 TEU, at 14 tons per container (That's the weight used in calculation, AFAIK... It might be 17), is 128800 tons. So figure a deadweight around 140000 tons or something.
The measurement Subman gave amount to a displacement of approximatly (I'd need a BC and LBP to be precise) 173522 tons. Probably less, maybe more.
I wonder in what country they'll flag it. China or Bermuda? |
