I think he succeeded - it's one of the best brand videos I've ever seen.
The containers are stacked higher and nearer the edge than I would've expected for an oceangoing ship. Do ships like this lose containers in rough seas?

What a great time to introduce you to http://www.cargolaw.com/gallery.html This site has lots of amazing pictures if you can get past the Geocities design. Like this: http://www.cargolaw.com/2012nightmare_bai_chay_bri.html
How would you put out such a fire from under/inside the stacks of the containers? (and given the content of the containers with consumer goods - plastic, plastic and more plastic ... )
What are the limits on the size of a ship? Width of Panama/Suez channels? Lets say they would build by 2019 (they plan to start this year and be done by 2019) the Nicaragua canal :

"The proposed canal would be between 230 meters and 520 meters wide and 27.6 meters deep."
And Egypt also invests billions in improving (and as i remember - building new pieces) of Suez.
So, how about double length and double width of the Triple-E?

No.
Losing customers containers is bad for business I would find it unlikely you'd just factor loses like that in.
I't take an accident/mistake or rare natural event to knock them out.
Even if you wanted to allow containers to 'fall off' as a business expense I'd see the maritime union causing issues increasing this expense since I'd imagine it creates an unsafe work environment.
i assume this is a panamax ship? is the suez canal wider than the panama canal?

They lock containers together with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistlock (and probably with other mechanisms) though of course if the ship tilts enough there can still be problems.
Seeing the video in the article I was reminded of a corporate video they did a few years ago. I know the director second-hand, and he was basically given free reign to go wherever he wanted and spend as much money as he deemed necessary to make a video that got the size and trust of the brand across.

That's a really good video! Any idea what the final budget was? Would be interesting to know how much companies dish out for that sort of thing
This is about 12 minutes long, has a fairly well known British Actor narrating, a well known film director, involved lots of world travel and various types of specialist equipment operators, lighting and sound folks.
I wouldn't think you'd get away from this for anything under $20m, and wouldn't be shocked to hear it was $30m.
