From http://freightforum.com There's two stories going on; one covers the construction of Emma Maersk, the largest container ship in the world, another part is about longshoremen in Long Beach. Find useful information on logistics at the Freight Forum.
Adrian Maersk stupid. This video has nothing to do with the EMMA maersk!

His pronunciation of "Odense" - LOL.
Ok, for every one speaking engish i will like to tell you that in danish (and a lot of other language here in the Northeren Europe, Icelandic included) we have 2 kinds of d's - the hard pronunciation one also used in english, and a soft one that does not exists in english.
Pronounce "Odense" like this "Othense" - that is - the soft d is pronaunced exacly like the "th" sound in "the".

@fabioso007 I have a documentary on this ship I should upload. They have a camera crew follow it from the Indian Ocean to Italy or somewhere.

@ChannelingusIV well its not diesel they are using. they run on heavy oil which is the non refined stuff. the reason why the engine can run on this is because of the compression ratio. It very technical but basically the higher the pressure in the cylinder the higher the temperature will be and once it reaches roughly 700 degrees Celcius (about 1200 F) the fuel is ignited. Less refined means less expensive to buy. HOWEVER its still not cheap ....but its cheaper :)
