This book gives you the opportunity to saunter though the gigantic universe of container ships

Feeling dwarfed when faced with the endless rows of containers
Feeling dizzy beneath the steel gantry
Deafened by the rattle and whir of engines
Getting lost in the depths of this four hundred meter long vessel
Spreading on towards Europe
Trying to express the conflicting tensions between steel and water
Between the machines and men
Endlessly struggling against time
Battling with the ocean and the elements

Globalization has many faces, here is the one of merchant shipping.

This book is part of an ongoing study on the main European ports (Rotterdam, Antwerpen, Le Havre, Dunkerque), on merchant shipping, the transport of containers and more particularly on the CMA CGM Jules Verne during a voyage on the china sea between Qingdao and Singapore in July 2017.
