Evelyn ~ Knudsen / Jensen

In 2011 we were lucky to go aboard Evelyn, then the biggest container ship in the world. We were bedazzled, especially with her engine room of many floors and the deep hum that surrounds you. At the time of writing this she is sailing under the Danish flag in the West Mediterranean through the Strait of Sicily which divides the Tyrrhenian Sea and the western Mediterranean Sea, from the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Right now her exact coordinates are: 36.65253° Latitude / 13.30656° Longitude Emma was built by Maersk in 2006 and Evelyn is her younger sister by one year, both are 400 metres long, approximately 4 football fields in length. Their reign supreme ended in 2012 with the birth of CMA CGM Marco Polo who is in fact the same length but 5cm wider. However, where Evelyn could contain 15,550 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit), Marco Polo has capacity for 23,964 TEU. So its game over for now unless Maersk can put out a higher capacity vessel but nonetheless what we witnessed was still to enter a giant, with an elevator to pass between floors and ironically the smallest steering wheel we had ever seen! These photos and audio recordings were our way to remember the experience and we hoped that we might get to travel on a container ship as part of our research into mass production and globalisation - a project that morphed into what became ‘Exit Strategies’ by Happy Gorilla Dance Company.

2011年,我們很幸運地登上了當時世界上最大的集裝箱船伊夫林(Evelyn)。我們眼花azz亂,尤其是她的機艙擁有許多樓層,周圍環繞著深深的嗡嗡聲。 在撰寫本文時,她正在丹麥國旗下航行於西地中海,途經西西里島海峽,該海峽將第勒尼安海和西地中海與東地中海分開。 現在,她的確切坐標是:36.65253°緯度/ 13.30656°經度 艾瑪(Emma)由馬士基(Maersk)於2006年建造,伊芙琳(Evelyn)則是她的妹妹,一年都長400米,大約有四個足球場。 他們的最高統治權在2012年隨著CMA CGM Marco Polo的誕生而結束,實際上他的長度相同,但寬5厘米。 但是,在Evelyn可能包含15,550 TEU(二十英尺等效單元)的地方,Marco Polo的容量為23,964 TEU。 因此,除非馬士基能夠推出更高容量的船隻,否則它的比賽現在就結束了,儘管如此,我們所看到的仍然是進入一個巨大的世界,其中有一部電梯可以穿越樓層,具有諷刺意味的是,這是我們見過的最小的方向盤! 這些照片和錄音是我們記住經歷的方式,我們希望我們可以在集裝箱船上旅行,這是我們對批量生產和全球化進行研究的一部分-這個項目演變成Happy Gorilla的“退出策略” 舞蹈團。
