965'l x 115'w.........newest generation container ships are 1150'l x 147'w.....with bigger ones being considered.

Ships of this size are currently restricted to the Pacific only trades or Trans-Suez trades between Asia/Europe/East Coast U.S.A

Great Lakes (the Upper Lakes) max is 1000 X 105 feet wide but they can't get past the Welland Canal which is 730 X 75.

FWIW, there is some speculation that the newest generation of container ships (as well as any larger ones planned for the future) may be obsolete before they are put in service. They may never be utilized to the extent it was expected.
