The ship is named the APL Thailand and is 906 feet long, 131 feet wide, has a diesel engine rated at about 60,000 Hp and the cruise at about 27 knots. They can carry about 5100 containers, a lot of work for a crew of 22. The bridge is about 136 ft above the water and its stepping into a space ship with all the computers and electronics etc. A real change from the ships I sailed.
