The Ever Given can load 20,388 teu. At $3.95 for an HO 20-foot container, that would be around $80,000. As a clever modeler, you would only need to do the sides, tops, and ends and fill the core with foam insulation planks. That should cut your cost considerably.
That is really small for a container ship. When I worked in L.A. harbor, we had a customer with small ships like that one. They could not really compete with the big ships, but provided service to ports in Africa and South America that were too small to handle the really big container ships. They would also handle some of the small Pacific and Carribean islands that were too small to handle large container ships. They often hauled a combination of containers and break bulk. Often the hold was loaded with lumber and the containers were stacked on deck. I would not be surprised if these smaller ships would not also haul cargo up some of Europe's large rivers where the large container ships would have difficulty manuevering.
The Ever Given has a capacity of 20,388 TEU (20 foot equivalent units) which would be exactly half as many (10, 194) 40 foot containers.... at 10 per double stacked 5-unit car, that's 1020 cars at about 265 feet each (depending on specific model), or a train 270,300 feet (or a bit over 51 MILES) long!... from one container ship!
The MANCHESTER MERCURIO was built in 1971 and was owned by Manchester Liners. The owned ships that fitted the Manchester Ship Canal in the UK. Sometime they had weekly servises to Canada and regular sailings to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk, VA:
This kit is in HO scale, right? So that means that it's a specialty item for model railroaders - who else uses 1:87 scale? It's also enormous in HO scale. How many of us have the space to dedicate to a 40" model with supporting harbor and container loading facilities? That's as much space as many of us have for the entire layout!
You're free to look around, but that's the average going rate for a model ship of that size. I've spent too much time drooling over the Micro Mark ship kit section.
The market for said ships is not very large. You only need one, unless that part of your harbor lifts out so you can swap in different ships.
The KCS was conceived to provide data for both explication of flow physics and CFD validation for a modern container ship with bulb bow and stern (i.e., ca. 1997). The conditions include bare hull and fixed model. No full-scale ship exists.
More information concerning KCS including towing tank results for resistance, generated wave field and pressure field on the hull can be found on the MOERI and NMRI web sites.
The hull geometry and relevant loading conditions and speeds are described under Geometry and Conditions, from where the hull description can be downloaded in the form of an IGES-file.
The planned model tests for the KCS includes PMM tests in deep water and free model tests. The specific test programs that should be followed for each of these test series are described under Test Programs.
Instructions for the format of the test results are given underFormat of Model Test Results. Raw model test data will be available after tests have been completed and can be downloaded via theFTP server.Guidelines for the output from the manoeuvring simulations are given underInstructions to participants. Note that there are specific instructions as well as a questionnaire to be filled out for each of the types of methods i.e. systems based or CFD-based methods.

Clear understanding of the collapse behaviour of container ship having large hatch openings under pure bending and pure torsion as well as combined bending and torsion is very important to ensure the safety of container ships which are now widely used all over the world. In the present paper, a series of progressive collapse analyses is performed on 1/13-scale container ship models under pure bending, pure torsion and combined bending and torsion applying Idealized Structural Unit Method (ISUM) developed by the authors. The calculated loaddisplacement relationships are compared with the experimental results as well as calculated results applying nonlinear FEM. Similar collapse behaviour was observed between calculated and measured results. Thus, applicability of the developed ISUM element and the accuracy of the calculated results are demonstrated.
Container ship has become a popular ship type all over the world due to its large cargo capacity, excellent suitability for carriage of sustaining supplies and ammunition as well as rapid and efficient cargo operations. The hull girder of container ship shall be subjected to combined bending and torsion and may be in severe condition against torsion because of its large hatch openings. It is necessary to clearly understand its load-carrying capacity under pure bending, pure torsion and combined bending and torsion to ensure its safety under bad weather condition or other severe conditions. The research on collapse behaviour under pure torsion or combined bending and torsion was limited (for example Hu and Chen, 2001) and clear understanding had not yet been obtained. Of course, such behaviours could be obtained by performing NFEM analysis considering both buckling and yielding. However, such analysis is too much time consuming and is not easily performed. ISUM, a simple but efficient method, can also be applied for such analysis.

Parametric roll on ships is a resonance phenomenon whose onset causes heavy roll oscillations leading to dangerous situations for the ship, the cargo and the crew. It affects both small vessels with marginal stability and large container ships if four conditions are met simultaneously: the wave length and ship length are approximately equal, the frequency of encounter wave is twice the roll natural frequency, the ship's roll damping is low enough and the wave height exceeds a limit value characteristic to each vessel. For a container ship, the first two conditions result in a time-varying geometry of the submerged hull and thus to a periodic variation of the transverse stability. In the last two decades, several mathematical models for parametric rolling have been proposed by scientists. In the paper, we cancelled the couplings terms between heave, pitch and roll in a 3 DOF model proposed by Neves and Rodriguez to obtain an uncoupled 1 DOF model for the parametric roll. Even if it seems too simplistic, such a model based on Mathieu type equation is a good start to capture the basic features of the analysed phenomenon. There are no less than seven parameters that can influence the ship stability and the appearance of large roll amplitudes. By modifying two of these parameters one by one and keeping the others constant, a series of colour plots have been drown that capture the role played by the ship's parameters in obtaining dangerous roll amplitudes or too short times to take countermeasures. Analysing the instability regions suggested by these colour plots, one can imagine control measures to reduce the roll amplitudes, such as changing the forward velocity or the heading angle. The data used in the paper have been obtained from experiments with a container ship model in a towing tank followed by expansion to a full scale ship.
Containers are standardized, reinforced steel boxes that can be packed with a wide array of products and materials and transported on ships, trains, and trucks. Loaded into the vast holds and onto the massive decks of containerships, they can be used time and again to carry goods between manufacturing centers and consumer markets around the world.
Abstract:An alternative to experiments is the use of numerical model tests, where the performances of ships can be evaluated entirely by computer simulations. In this paper, the free surface viscous flow around a bare hull model is simulated with three Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software packages (FINE Marine, ANSYS CFD and SHIPFLOW) and compared to the results obtained during the experimental tests. The bare hull model studied is the Duisburg Test Case (DTC), developed at the Institute of Ship Technology, Ocean Engineering and Transport Systems (ISMT) for benchmarking and validation of the numerical methods. Hull geometry and model test results of resistance, conducted in the experimental facility at SVA Postdam, Nietzschmann, in 2010, are publicly available. A comparative analysis of the numerical approach and experimental results is performed, related to the numerical simulation of the free surface viscous flow around a typical container ship. Further, a comparative analysis between the results provided by NUMECA, ANSYS and SHIPFLOW is performed. Regarding the solution obtained, a satisfactory agreement between the towing test results and the computation results can be noticed. The minimum mean error was obtained through the SHIPFLOW case, 2.011%, which proved the best solution for the case studied.Keywords: CFD simulations; container ship; hydrodynamic resistance
