How 20 People Run a 400-Meter Container Ship

Logosofia no Dia a Dia · May 23, 2026 · 32m

A single container ship can carry 24,000 boxes across the ocean — and the entire crew would fit in a minibus. This episode breaks down exactly who those 20 people are, what each department does, and how the real regulation happens not through flag states but through insurance underwriters. We explore the brutal watch schedules, the hidden role of the ship's electrician, and why the sextant is still a critical backup on modern vessels. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to move global trade across the water, this is the episode for you. Episode 2990 — myweirdprompts.com/n/2990…
