Here’s another video that shows how the hull design and cargo arrangement differs from current containerships.

Now to give you some perspective as to the size of the vessels; imagine a basketball court seating several thousand, a full sized American football stadium with some twenty thousand spectators, and, finally, a spectator packed ice hockey stadium.  They can all fit below deck… at the same time!
