    Song 153 - How Does It Make You Feel?

    The group sings our song 153 - a little off pace, but enjoy. we did

    Katy South congregation gathering was held on Saturday, Aug. 14, 2016.  Participation was in good order, the Sisters took care of everything and everyone.  A good time was had  by all.  May Jehovah continue to bless his people all over the world with good fellowship while we await the New World.

    Ps 133:1 - Look! How good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity!

    What a ship...no wonder 'Made in China ' is displacing North 
    American made goods big time. This monster transports goods 
    across the Pacific in just 5 days! Another two will soon be 
    commissioned..

    ATT000604.jpegATT000635.jpeg

    These ships were commissioned by Wal-Mart - to get its imported
    goods from China ... They hold an incredible 15,000 containers 
    and have a 207 foot deck beam! A full crew is just 13 people 
    on a ship longer than a US Aircraft Carrier, which has a crew of 
    5,000. With its 207' beam it is too big to fit through the Panama 
    or Suez Canals ... It is strictly transpacific. 

    Cruise speed: 31 knots. The goods arrive four days before the 
    typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. 
    91% of Walmart products are made in China. So this behemoth 
    is hugely competitive - even if carrying perishable goods. 

    The ship was built in 5 sections. The sections are floated together 
    and then welded. The command bridge, higher than a 10-story 
    building, has 11 cargo crane rigs that can operate simultaneously 
    unloading the entire ship in less than two hours.

     

    Additional info:
    Country of origin - Denmark
    Length - 1,302 ft
    Width - 207 ft
    Net cargo - 123,200 tons
    Engine - 14 cylinders in-line diesel engine (110,000 BHP)
    Cruise Speed - 31 knots

    Cargo capacity - 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 cubic feet)
    Crew - 13 people!
    First trip - Sept. 08, 2006
    Construction cost - US $145,000,000+
    Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water 
    resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of fuel annually.

    Editorial Comment!
    A documentary in late March, 2010, on the History Channel,
    noted that all of these containers are returned to China, 
    EMPTY! Yep, that's right. We send nothing back on these ships.
    Enough said!
