Interesting thought! I suppose that it requires some calculations and research of the design changes that are required. Another point is if the shore facility “as is” can handle the containers to be stacked in that manner. If a new line of cranes are necessary, next to the standard cranes, then I think that this will be a financial and operational problem. And not the least it requires a new generation of container ships because I don’t think that the present ones can be adopted in a cost effective way to the new system.
