Tonnage doesn't really matter that much for a container ship ; the TEU count is more representative. After all, tonnage is only for enclosed space. We all know how modular shipping companies got around that

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?

Is bermuda in shallow waters? I wonder how close that oversized paperweight will even be able to get to shore.
