Even the biggest container ships - for example, the Emma Maersk with around 11k fully laden TEUs - only have 1k reefer sockets onboard. Assume those are all filled with forty footers. We are down to around 1k * 120k = 120 MegaBananas.

This is what happens when you just multiply containers by how much you think is in them.

For those of you interested in what the engine room of a container ship looks like, I posted some pictures last year:https://twitter.com/cybergibbons/status/1176182170546835456 …

Bananas don't tessellate and there's a maximum number of bananas you can stack before they crush the lower ones, meaning you also need space for strong enough packaging to stack. Have you accounted for this?

I just have to say, as far as intersections go, your intersection of bananas and cointainer ship knowledge is the most unexpected and awesome

I'd actually imagine most 4th engineers on container ships would know most of this - keeping the refrigerated cargo in good nick is your job!

What you do is seal the hatches, evacuate the holds and flood with nitrogen. Clean, non-toxic and prevents rot and ripening. At least they did on the ships my Dad worked on as Chief Engineer. Just don't fall asleep in the hold if you're a stevedore on a break.

Interesting how containerisation has made things worse in some respects maybe?
