Bananas are shipped from thousands of miles away and yet are still cheaper than local Apples. The reason is the incredible economics of container ships.

This doesn't talk about how container ships work, this is just talking how container ships benefit the economy. I wanted to know how they worked :T Things like do the colors mean anything, what do the crew do during shipping and when they arrive in port, how are the containers utilized, what happens to them after port, how they know what's in what container and where it's destination is, what is it like on a container ship, and so on.
Look up JeffHK on youtube
I agree. This video was not good, at least, not according to the title.
well, that would be how containers works, not the ships
I work for a freight forwarding company so I don't know much about what happens on the actual ships but I have some insight in the industry. The colours are just different shipping companies, eg at 5:00 on the right you can see a Maersk container (Maersk is the biggest in the world) along with CMA CGM in blue and MSC in yellow, 7:31 Evergreen. Once the ship arrives, giant cranes load and unload the containers, theres actually a lot of planning that goes into how to stack them, because some are coming off and others go on, and they need to make sure the weight is evenly distributed over the ship so theres no imbalance. The workers at the dock never know whats in them, they just need to know container numbers and where they need to go. Then freight forwarders like us come into play and we hire trucking companies to go pickup the containers then deliver them to the client.
A quick video on the history of containerization if you are interested. ruclips.net/video/Gn7IoT_WSRA/видео.html
I agree that this isn't really what I was expecting from the video but I hope I answered some of your questions.
@@johnsmithe887, thanks 😊
Well I learned more about bananas then I did about shipping containers..... still a good video thou.
sound like you learned something in each step
Regimeshifts well when I read a title that says 'how container ships work'..... I expect to be at least told about the locking pins they use to stack them. Or how they have to be balanced on the ship. But instead of learning things about containers, we learned about how bananas are shipped. That should of been the title 'how bananas are shipped in shipping containers'. And by no means was I complaining, I'm a geek I like these types of videos, I was just pointing out the obvisous.
He really should have named it something like how the economics of container ships work or why they are so profitable. That's really what this video was about using bananas as an example.
hey ,if anyone else wants to discover best container home designs try Sovallo Container Build Fixer (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got cool success with it.

Wasn't about bananas. Didn't even mention that Cavendish is actually Banana 2.0. Banana 1.0 (Gros Michel) succumbed to blight and became a generally unsustainable crop. Banana 3.0 is already appearing in Asian markets.

Hey did they just showed the ship at 7:34 😀
Great video. One of the factors that makes shipping cheap is the low fuel costs. Ships use the lowest grade (cheapest) fuel and as a result pollute alot. They can do this because there aren't pollution restrictions in international waters
One minor issue, you said the crew doesn’t even know what’s in the containers, every ship has a cargo manifest, and the contents of every container is listed on it. This is required, as containers with dangerous cargo need to be known about in advance, and the weight of each container is vital to be considered for the stability of the ship. So on every single ship at sea right now, there is at least one person (generally the 2/m or designated cargo officer) that knows EXACTLY what is in each container, as well as it’s weight, density, and volatility.
I would say he has access to that information: he doesn't necessarily remember. And while he reviews and signs off on loading instructions, I'll bet the loading instructions are actually drawn up by a computer.
And his point still holds: most of the crew has no need for that information and possibly can't even access it.
SpyOne I mean, he obviously can’t rattle everything off immediately. But a 2/M with any semblance of competency will thoroughly review the manifest and stowage plan before sailing, not just “sign off”. You are right though that the rest of the crew won’t know most of it. Mostly just the guys who temp check the reefers. Also each container has its contents clearly marked, so if the crew REALLY wanted to know they could, in theory, check them. Although some ships carry upwards of 20,000 TEU so that gets less and less practical all the time.
We only know what's inside Dangerous Good and Reefer containers. For normal dry containers, there usually is no info about the contents in the manifests. If the Chief Mate wanted to know what's inside a non DG, non Reefer container he had to contact the Charterer/Shipping company. And even this information is not always reliable.... a cargo declarated as bananas might in fact be weapons... customs don't check all boxes.
The weight too was mostly an estimate until two years ago a new regulation made it mandatory to verify each containers gross mass by weighting before loading.
To add, the general load plan given to crew members and longshoremen working the vessel only show the necessary information about a box: it's size, if it's a reefer or not, whether it is empty or full, hazmat considerations and destination port. A checker can get more info by running the containers number if necessary but most people involved do not know the contents of the containers.
They have no actual clue of what is being shipped. Whatever its in is declared by the shipper or the freight forwarder and can be a total lie as far as they can check. The ctrn is only checked on delivery by the local authorities.

2018 and we still have imperial system mesures. They should apear as secondary, but yea I get it. At least you gotta show the corresponding values in metric.
“Ships require little attention” tell that to the engineers 🤣
in compared to other modes of transport they do. if you take in account that one ship only has one or two engines running in order to keep moving like 20.000 containers. for the same amount you will need about 20.000 trucks or 2.000 trains. the overall cost will be much higher on the others in total for the same amount of product.
A ship on the move can by large even just sail it self. the idiot on the bridge is payed more to keep awake and don't touch anything. the ship can be maintained in the mean time while it is moving. You can't really do that with a train or truck. they need to be complete stationary the least if not taking in to the repair shop.
sirBrouwer I do realise that, I’m a 2nd engineer on a container vessel, just found it quite amusing as it certainly doesn’t feel like that when you’re on day 3 of an M/E overhaul 😂
@@scottwhitley3392 that is the problem of being the 2nd engineer. You will have to do the work and with luck you have a 3rt to help you. while the 1st is drinking coffee at his desk and getting the praise for the work you are doing.
it's even more nuts when you are working on a dredging ship. you are constantly deliberately destroying your pipelines with all the sand you are pumping around.
@@sirBrouwer, actually self driving trains and trucks are going to be a thing pretty soon, and they won't require much attention at all except maintenance and on/offloading.
@@sirBrouwer Since a European freight train (according to google) is about 750 meter (or 123 20 foot container lengths), and the overhead is pretty small, I think you got your figure wrong. At 100 containers per train, it would be 200 trains. That is how much more efficient trains are than trucks.
In US trains are around three times longer, so we are down to 70 trains per ship.
I think you might be referring to "minimum safe manning" when referring to the 13 crew members onboard the largest container vessels. In practice, there's typically in the range of 22-23 total crew members onboard (I'm a marine engineer with experience from a previously largest container ship in the world).
That is still a small number of people.
@@garethbaus5471 yep, but the precision in itself in useful!

Very interesting video.
I would just like to give you an advice - when stating imperial units (for example 7:40), just add a graphic of metric ones as well. It would only take you a few seconds and the rest of the world would thank you for it :)
Besides that, I really enjoy your content!
True.
Well in all fairness it wouldn't take him "a few seconds", at least a few minutes but that's me just me being silly, I actually agree with what you mean.

This was excellent! The example of the banana was a clever illustration of your explanation of container ships. I must admit that I was looking for a video on the physical workings of a container ship.
It's amazing how much simple stuff that exists out there is actually quite complex.
Shipping (as in on a ship) is something that a lot of people don't think about because you can't see it unless they live in a port city but is actually really important to the modern economy.
Some of the giant ships that come over the lake towards Milwaukee are HUGE.
After watching another video on this topic from Wendover Productions ( I think ) I actually believe the container and thus the ship and all the shipping proces is the base of the economy
I live in a port city and I never thought about people not thinking about it!
I was about to say that I thought about it but indeed I live in the second biggest port of my country (first for long and probably would still be if was the one to export metal)
@@dylan-fr3bh And those Great Lakes freighters are actually relatively small compared to some of the ocean-going giants!
That 7th banana is totally edible, it has to get a lot more brown than that to be a 'nope'.
In fact where I'm from (the Canary Islands - bananas is our biggest crop) they're considered more desirable when they reach 7.
@@benitollan I agree. They are best when they get a bit brown.
Daniel Bolstad that’s nasty
@Dylan B you realize only the peel is brown and the core is intact? even fully brown peels can have perfectly preserved interior.
people are wasteful and encourage companies to spray produce with all kinds of nasty shit just to keep their appearance "fresh". not to mention supermarkets throw away perfectly good produce for the slightest imperfections because ignorant consumers only buy things as they seen them in pictures.
MMMM seven would be reasonable if you weren't eating the banana plane, we use them for bread at that pount
algorithm on point
I remember, a good few years ago, my dad worked as a controls engineer in a banana ripening factory, learned all about this then, when one starts to ripen it gives off a gas to let others around it know its time to, they can extract the gas from a room to stall ripening and add it to ripen a room all at once. amazing, same thing tomatoes do.
Wow this is what I always want to know, thanks polymatter ;)
Buset, ada dimana-mana :))
Totally forgot I was watching a video about containers until 2:05
I took a MSc in international logistics and port management and this is very interesting and useful to know too. Very well explained. Thank you
So...I still have no idea how a container ship works. I DID however learn how shipping works, kinda, and WAY more about bananas than I ever wanted.

My interests are in photos, shipping. I am a volunteer running a mission to seafarers when they come in on a boat from the docks, they have an area where they can come and relax have refreshments, watch television,, read some papers and use the computer. This is a good video.
I work in Exports for a Logistics company. The containers are individual unless they are using a consolidated service, then only other materials like it will be inside the container such as yarn, clothing, etc. The shipper or carrier knows exactly what is inside the container, along with the CBMs (cubic meters), the weight, value of the goods, and the product. These are all on the shipping instructions we send and they are required to clear customs. If your weight is literally off by .01, there are huge fines and penalties along with paperwork revisions such as revising the bill of lading for the specific container. Exports is a very specific process but when it comes to moving cargo, everything is clearly defined and specified down to the .01 KG

The 7th stage bananas are the sweetest and the most nutritious. If it all becomes black, and appears to have turned into a paste inside, you should use that for cooking desserts. But a dark yellow banana covered in black spots like a leopard, it's the best you'll ever eat!

Fruits and other perishable goods are shipped using a faster and smaller ship called Reefer ships compared to traditional big hauler Dry Ships. Mainly they are port to port only to maintain their cargo’s freshness. And it is refrigerated containers.
Can you start using universal measurements such as kg as well for a better understanding!
For containers they are described as 20-foot, 40-foot, or less commonly 45-ft and then as standard (8foot 6 inch) high or HyCube (9foot 6inch) high. I suppose you could describe the smaller container as a 6.096 meter container and the next bigger one as a12.192 meter container, but people in the industry even outside the US would look at you funny. Just as distances in the maritime industry are in Nautical Miles and speeds as Nautical Miles per Hour (knots). A Nautical Mile is 6,000 feet or 1000 fathoms.

Years ago I was an Assistant Manager in a convenience store and a district supervisor was talking with the other Assistant Manager about ways we might improve, and apparently the supervisor felt we weren't letting the bananas ripen enough before putting them out while the AM was saying that our customers didn't want riper bananas and wouldn't buy them. I happened to be passing by and the supervisor gestured to the green-ish yellow bananas we had out (stage 3 in this video) and said "Who wants to buy a banana like this?"
"Our customers. Go figure." was my reply.
So the supervisor accepted that the AM was right: our customers wanted green bananas for some reason, and would not buy them once they turned yellow.

Just peel it off and you'll see the secrets of the universe.
Um, wrong about crews not knowing what they carry in the containers; they HAVE to know what's in them, it's in the manifest that's required by international law.
Also, what's the temperature in the units of measurement the ENTIRE WORLD uses, instead of using a antiquated system of measurement that very few nations still use?
Great Video, lots to learn... one request would be to use the Celsius (°C) scale alongside with Fahrenheit so the rest of us outside US will understand it.
18-19 knots is quite fast. sure its not the insane 30 knots of the early 70s, but way higher than the 8-10 konts we were doing just 10 years ago, due to high oil prices, let me tell you coming from a bulker and joining on a reefership it feels amazingly fast
Apparently the bananas here arrive at stage 1
Same. And I live even further north than the US.
😂😂😂
Same here and lots of other places.
interesting... but can you use METRIC UNITS please, do it for the most people in the world that like your videos
this shows how positive the impact of international universal standarts on the economy and trade is!
Man, people really want that metric system to be represented, but when American's comment on videos using the metric system we usually get told to google the conversion. :P Joking aside, as an American, I fully agree with the idea of putting up both numbers. Helps reach the most people. :)

RUclips founded by an American, a German, and a Taiwanese. ...so 2/3 would measure things in Celsius.
World Wide Web invented by Tim Berners-Lee who most likely would measure in Celsius.
@Credence Clementine Are you THAT stupid person who has to demonstrate their ignorance for all of RUclips's global audience to see?
