Why Doesn’t This Massive Ship Sink?

This giant ship can carry up to 24,000 containers at once.
But here’s the crazy part… Why doesn’t it sink?
First, because of Archimedes’ principle. The ship pushes away a massive amount of water, creating an upward force that keeps it afloat.
Second, the ship isn’t solid steel inside. A huge part of it is just air, which lowers its overall density.
It also uses special ballast tanks filled with water to stay balanced during storms.
Fun fact: If you placed 24,000 containers in a single line, they could stretch for almost 150 kilometers.
