A little short for a starship, isn't he?

This made me realise you could probably fit an entire small town including all it's drama on a container ship.

How many people can stand in one container?

1 TEU ≈ 13.6m², so 27 @ ~0.5m² per person to not be too dense?

The Ever Given has a 20,124 TEU capacity, so that's 543,348 people. With fewer people you get more space, including space for food stocks, sleeping quarters, kitchen area, etc.
