The world's largest container ship, the "CSCL Globe," has embarked on its maiden voyage from Shanghai to Europe.

The ship measures 1,312 feet long and 192 feet wide and is roughly the size of four soccer fields, according to Gizmag.

It is the first of five ships to be constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries at the request of Shanghai-based marine shipping company China Shipping Container Lines.

It can carry around 200 million tablet computers at a time and is 20% more energy-efficient than other container ships.
