Cruise speed-31 mph?? Jeez, you could ski behind that behemoth. Also, you don't usually see such a yacht-like pointy nose on a container vessel. It would make the Sultan of Brunei a nice little yacht conversion don't you think?

For a sense of scale, look at the Emma Maersk docked next to a normal sized container ship.

That's only above the water line, though. Below the laden water line they could rent rooms in the nose.
