But they are all in one place. We have to name the place, too. 88 m is fairly high.

Which suggests that the place in which they exist cannot taken bigger versions of this thing. Bigger versions would have to go elsewhere, thus requiring another journey to the place in question.
Perhaps it is something like ships not being able to dock at a particular port, or aircraft that have to be able to connect to the passenger walkways.
You're all closing in here - NZ. is getting very close. From the 88m only 68 is actually visible - think also on the width and why this would be regulated.
Container ships. 20m are under water. The width requirement is so all the containers can be removed with the equipment on the dockside. Any wider and the containers could not be reached.
You are so close NZ. just one missing element. On average there are 47 of them there at one time and any that are too big would have a long journey ahead of them.
No, not Hamburg. Not actually a port so where else would a 50m + width be a potential problem ?
I think that's close enough Frenchie. The regulations for entry to the Suez Canal (Suezmax) specify a maximum draft of 20.1m and a maximum air draft of 68m - (This is because of the bridge over the canal). Maximum width is 50m. On average 47 ships pass through the canal every day. Failure to comply with these regulations means a long trip south of Africa - which some oil tankers have to do. Over to you !
That is the man. Thought that the Banbury bit might throw people off track. Over to you.
In a football context, who or what went from plurality to disunited before becoming singular but once more united.
