On those container ships, like the one stuck in the Suez Canal, do they
ship anything below decks anymore?

What do they do with all the space?

Is the deck at the same height as the top of the hull or is it like a
bowl now?

It seems like that one, the Ever Something, was top-heavy and a good
wave would make the whole thing tip over, or some of the containers fall
off. No?

Yes.

Fill it up with containers, of course.

Cruise ships look top heavy too but this is carrying tons of freight in
those containers.

Inside though, is a 78,000 horsepower diesel engine that turns the prop
at 79 RPM at top speed. I don't know how many inches per gallon of fuel
it takes.

What is the MPG of a cruise ship?
0.004 mpg
Assuming an efficiency of about 30% means the boat is burning roughly
1.84 gallons of fuel per second, or 6640 gallons per hour. Since the
ship's cruising speed is 23.7 knots, or 27.3 mph, the cruise ship's fuel
efficiency is roughly 0.004 mpg.

Ballast tanks etc. You need quite a bit of that because
they are very top heavy when fully loaded.

top of the hull or is it like a bowl now?

Not clear what you mean.

Nope, that's why they have ballast tanks.

Nope, the containers have locks to the container below them and
ultimately to the ship itself with the bottom container in each stack.

What a load of codswallop. They remove hatch covers, load containers to
the covers, then refit the hatch covers and load more containers on top
of the covers. Containers below deck are only secured side to side. They
are not secured vertically.
If the ship is an all container ship, the hold(s) will have container
guides into which the containers are stacked. I'd suspect most are these
days.

Ballast tanks etc. You need quite a bit of that because they are very
top heavy when fully loaded.

More codswallop. Ballast reduces the amount of tonnage you can carry. If
you need ballast for stability, you carry less tonnage. There goes your
efficiency and *profits*. What you will find is that the heaviest
containers go below the hatch covers, lighter ones above. That provides
the *stability*. You simply cannot have a top heavy container ship. It
will be dreadfully unstable in a storm if no loading is below the hatch
covers.

Common sense isn't clear to you.

Codswallop again. Ballast tanks are for when the ship is running very
light or *empty*.

Nope, the containers have locks to the container below them and
ultimately to the ship itself with the bottom container in each stack.

No. Container ships cannot be top heavy - they will tip if they are.
