How does modern ships compared to the old ones in terms of size and speed?
Modern ships are way bigger compared to the old ones also have better recources than old ones such as the motors where as old ships had very poor resources and modern ships have more speed than old ships.
What unit speed is used to measure the speed of ships?
The nautical term for a unit of speed when sailing or navigating a boat is the word knots. To measure a knot it is the unit of speed equal to one nautical mile approximately 1.151 mph.
How does depth and temperature affect pressure?
temperature is the average kinetic energy of the atoms of a gas. so with increased temperature the speed of the atoms of gas would increase. and since pressure is the collisions of said atoms on the side of a container; increased speed means more collisions of the particles and the side of the container increasing the pressure, and the same aplies for lowered temperature lower temp lower speed and less collions and less pressure.
List properties of a liquid?
A liquid has a definite volume but an indefinite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
What is a woven storage container?
A woven storage container would be a basket.
What is the top speed of the Maersk Line?

Why are general cargo ships more in number than container ships?
there is more cargo than there is oil, or other liquids container ships use.
What is a good sentence for the word container?

Is the speed of 22 knots in a ship dangerous?
Depending on the type of ship/boat it can be a perfectly safe speed. most modern container ships travel around at 20 - 23 knots.

How many container ships are there in the world?
9,535 ships as of 2010, according to Wikipedia.
Why don't cruise ships and container ships tip over?
Cruise ships and container ships are controlled by computers, which keeps them level. They also have huge water holding tanks inside the hull that act as ballasts, which balance the ship.
How do container lock together on container ships?
By the use of twist-locks and stacking cones.
Can ships carry more cargo than airplanes?
Yes , for example container ships .
How do the phoenician ships appear to be similar to and different from contemporary ships?
Cargo ships had a broad beam to hold produce. The warships were narrow for speed and manoeuvere.
Is fuel consumption for bulk carriers same as for container ships?
Fuel consumption is dependant on the power required to operate the ship. This is a function of the vessels design speed and resistance or drag. A container vessel travels at much higher speeds than a bulk carrier and since an increase in speed will lead to a cubed increase in fuel consumption, it takes a lot more fuel to travel at this higher speed. However, the drag of a bulk carrier is much higher than that of a container vessel of the same dimensions since the container vessel has much finer lines under water. Basically, if the two vessels are travelling at the same speed then the container vessel will consume less fuel but since containers vessels are suppposed to travel at twice the speed of a bulk carrier. the bulk carrier in practice consumes less fuel providing the two ships are the same size,
