This made me realise you could probably fit an entire small town including all it's drama on a container ship.
Star Trek: Evergreen
Stuck sideways in a hyperplane!
Should've done that with Flint
Flnt is NOT a small town
How many people can stand in one container?
1 TEU ≈ 13.6m², so 27 @ ~0.5m² per person to not be too dense?
The Ever Given has a 20,124 TEU capacity, so that's 543,348 people. With fewer people you get more space, including space for food stocks, sleeping quarters, kitchen area, etc.
