International shipping makes up around 90% of the global trade in goods, transporting a vast variety of items around the world from port to port. We have collected data of the world's biggest container ships operating.
From the glory days of Mitre 10 Dream Home, to classics like The Block and Grand Designs, right through to newer favourites like House Rules NZ and New Zealand’s Best Homes.

How big is a shipping container? They come in a range of standard sizes, with their length quoted in feet. 10ft, 20ft and and 40ft sizes are readily available, with 20ft the most popular.
