This Friday PTI is presenting a video from YouTube channel Humans At Sea on the biggest container ships in 2017.

However, although these mighty vessels are impressive, their size should not be mistaken for reprsenting container shipping industry strength.

This is why we at PTI want your opinion, as we've seen a lot of changes take place and perhaps not enough preparation in regards to ensuring the industry can continue a safe course.

We welcome you to vote on our poll, featured on our homepage, which poses the question: 'What is the biggest threat to the container shipping industry?'.
