Wikipedia says the Triple-E class container ships have an empty displacement of 55Kt. Assuming the Golden class is similar, with a summer deadweight of 200Kt, it seems a loaded displacement of 250Kt is possible.
I read in a random news story that the Ever Given's displacement on this voyage is about 220Kt.
Note that the units are long tons, which means that ship weighs close to 250,000 american tons, or five hundred million pounds.
I agree, and I think these weights are in fact now reported as metric tons, not imperial long tons. The difference is insignificant for purposes of casual conversation.
