That is a big boat. I wonder how many cars are on it.

Thousands. They have anywhere from 6-10 floors, with a max floor height of about 5.2m. They can carry any kind of vehicle, as small as motorcycles or as large as train cars. I do not have the size of this specific boat, but this company has boats that range in size from 4300 to 8500 CEUs (Car Equivalent Units). Fun fact, the CEU is based on the size of a 1966 Toyota Corolla RT43.

Another thing to note.. This particular ship has a draft of 10m when loaded.. so there is another 33(ish) feet of boat under the water line.
