A basic requirement a travelling exhibition needs to meet is mobility. The Future Ocean Dialogue was hence designed to fit into a a single container that can easily be shipped to any international destination. Mobility is reflected in the exhibition concept even further: The modules themselves also serve as transport boxes and easily convert in a few simple steps. They are also rugged enough to take a few punches so that the exhibition can be moved and set up at different locations repeatedly. Packed and secured for transport, the exhibition consists of ten boxes that neatly fit into a twenty-foot-container. Ready for shipping, the container weighs about four tons altogether and of course needs a forklift or crane to be handled. The particular one for the exhibition was especially customized, displaying the Future Ocean claim on it’s hull. About 13.ooo of these twenty-foot-equivalent units (TEU) fit onto a large container vessel like the one pictured in the gallery below. At a ship lenght of 360 metres, this adds up to gross tonnage of about 14o.ooo tons roughly (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_container_ships).
