Thanks to modular design and construction, modern shipbuilding is fast. First, a three-dimensional design is made on a computer and then sent to the shipyard. Next, the steel plates are cut to the specifications indicated on the blueprints. Afterwards, the blocks are constructed by welding the cut steel plates to form the hull. Then, the operation is moved to the dock.

This exhibition is a simulation of the wheelhouse aboard a container ship. Here visitors can learn about navigation though a collection of nautical equipment like compasses and sextants. There's a recreation of interactive displays that demonstrate some of the key skills of seamanship. Moreover, there are many interactive games for visitors to experience the life on a containership.

Here is the engine control room. It is the control center for the ship`s power and manages all machinery on board. All of the equipment is from Ever Spring, the first full-container ship owned by Evergreen in 1975.

An inauguration ceremony was held on June 26, 2016 to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal expansion project. Opened in 1914, the canal was praised as one of the seven wonders of the industrial world. The recent expansion allows the canal to handle container vessels of up to 14,000 TEU. A model of the Panama Canal is currently on display at the Evergreen Maritime Museum.

The Americans finished the construction of the Panama Canal in Central America in 1914. The Panama Canal is 82 kilometers long and connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and shortens the sailing time between west and east America.

The Panama Canal Expansion Project was completed in 2016. The expanded Panama Canal lock chambers are capable of allowing vessels which are 366 meters in length, 49 meters in width, and water draft 15.2 meters to pass through. As for the container ships, the largest capacity is having 14,000 20-foot-equivalent (TEU) containers on the vessel to pass through the new canal lock chambers.

This weather globe offers information including satellite images, a weather chart, an ocean current diagram, a sea surface temperature diagram, and a graph of the positions of Evergreen`s container ships. This information is updated daily via satellites and the internet.

Sailing is heavily relying on weather and sea currents. It is essential for the crews to know all the changes on the way to their destinations. With the latest information on sea and weather, the crews are able to plan for the best route to deliver cargos and passengers on board safely.

Every green spot on the weather globe represents one Evergreen container ship and its current location. You may find where we are and count how many container ships are there off the coast of Taiwan.
