The world’s biggest container ship has been launched in South Korea, just as global trade is suffering a sharp downturn due to the pandemic.
But having largely controlled the spread of the disease in its country, the government is now looking to repair the economic damage.
Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports from the port city of Busan.

That’s one Mammoth of a container ship….
Ship to Busan SK is really doing good world noticing them.
The big ship will end up like Airbus A 380 .
LOL funny dialect
Where is a saving when loading and unloading containers will take twice as long time.
dont need to operate 2 or 3 ships. one ship can do. save fuel and human resources.
I hope this won’t end up in tragedy
That man definitely needed subtitles
Sorry…what?
@Martin Allen he meant the south Korean needed subtitles
Pray for Trump’s death.
Timing couldn’t be worse, maybe they can fill it with oil and use it as floating storage.
How long have the crew been stuck onboard.
In South Korea, the situation has been greatly stabilized and improved. The number of confirmed patients was also greatly reduced.. Of course, Koreans are never vigilant.
Korea is currently the world’s No. 1 shipbuilder, with China coming in second. Most of China’s orders are made locally, and orders from around the world are rare, but that alone ranks second.
Well done South Korea.
Another black hole for the government to pour taxpayers money into
That ship isn’t owned by the government…
Ship isn’t owned by government, please do some research before talking🤦🏻
This is one long voyage.
Wish you well for the people who has made it.
Bad timing!!!!!!
It’s not South Korea occupying southern part of the Korean penninsula, you God-forsaken Babylonian reporter, it is the land of South Korea. You keep twisting words here and there to force-fit your agenda, but in the end, you will be judged by fire from God.
They should have consulted with dr foci and Bill Gates first…they knew all about covid back in 2018
Koreans made the right move. Sea, not air, freight is the safest mode of transportation. Viruses can be contained if travel speed is reduced.
Viruses die off within 4 days so sea shipping is best, safest, and cheapest.
It’ll be full of illegal immigrants and bound for Greece .
If they Build quality electric vehicles for north America and Europe South Korea will do great
