Container turnover was growing by about 15% every year until 2008. The industry was booming. The first container ship was able to carry just 700 standard containers (TEU). Giants with a carrying capacity of 8,450 TEU are currently being built and an 18,000 TEU ship has already been designed as part of a Dutch study. How big will the container giants of the future be? We show the construction of one of the largest container ships in Japan, take part at the first test voyage in the Japanese Sea and look over the shoulder of the shipbuilders. We show how the technicians crawl through the 93,000 hp diesel and how they control the paint coats under the colossus in the dry dock.

Will the ports master the logistical challenges? All recordings were made exclusively by fact+film after difficult negotiations about the filming permits. Locations were Hamburg, Germany
