Ships are central to the global economy. As they traverse the seas transporting 90% of the world's goods, they produce more greenhouse gases than a country the size of Germany. This programme follows some of the giants of the seas on their journeys, from a shipyard in China to a fully automated terminal in Rotterdam, where up to 23,000 containers are processed per week, to the ALP Striker, the most powerful oceangoing tug in the world pulling a 31,000-tonne oil rig across the ocean.

But can anything be done to make shipping more environmentally friendly, could our ferries be powered by wind alone, or could gas or hydrogen be the technology of the future for superships?

Tha soithichean riatanach dha eaconamaidh na cruinne. Mar a bhios iad a' siubhal nan cuantan, a' gi霉lan 90% de bhathair an t-saoghail, bidh iad a' giullachd barrachd gas bl脿thachaidh na bhios d霉thaich meud Na Gearmailt. Leanaidh am pr貌gram seo cuid de dh'fhuamhairean nan cuantan air an turais, bho gh脿rradh shoithichean ann an S矛ona gu t猫irmineal f猫in-obraichte ann an Rotterdam, far am bi suas ri 23,000 coint猫inear gan l脿imhseachadh gach seachdain, chun ALP Striker, am b脿ta slaodaidh as treasa a bhios a' dol gu muir, is i a' slaodadh cl脿r-ola anns a bheil 31,000 tunna thar a' chuain. Ach an gabh soithichean an d猫anamh nas fhe脿rr dhan 脿rainneachd? An urrainn dha aiseagan se貌ladh fo neart na gaoithe a-mh脿in, neo an e teicne貌las gas neo haidhdreaidean a chleachdas na m貌r-shoithichean san 脿m ri teachd?
