Enough to make anyone seasick: Watch the inside of a cargo ship twist and contort as it moves through huge waves in a storm

This video captures the terrifying nature of life at sea - showing the inside of a cargo ship twist and contort as it passes through a storm in the Indian ocean.
Recorded during severe weather conditions as the Skagen Maersk container travelled from the Suez Canal to Singapore, it shows the effect of huge waves on the interior of the 1,131ft vessel.
The three-minute clip begins with a shot of the gloomy sky and rough, choppy sea.

It then shows a large wave crashing into the 1,131ft Skagen Maersk container in the Indian Ocean
It then shows a huge wave hitting the outside of the container, before the viewer is transported inside.
From the stern of the ship, a wave is seen hitting a wall at the end of a long corridor - which causes it to bend and distort.
From below deck, in what is known as the 'engineer's passageway', the floor can be seen jutting up and down and contorting.
The video was recorded by marine engineer Claus Tuxen.
In the clip, he makes it clear that it is normal for ships to be flexible in such conditions - as a stiff vessel would break apart.
