Ever Given is one of the largest container ships in the world, with a capacity of more than 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs); thatās the same as 10,000 of the more common 40ā steel containers you see on trucks and trains criss-crossing the country.
Owned by Shoei Kisen Kaisha, a subsidiary of Imabari Shipbuilding in Japan, Ever Given launched alongside ten other vessels of the same size in 2018. Referred to as their āGolden-class,ā these ships are operated by the Taiwanese Evergreen Marine Corporation.
