53' containers....!

I can say that 45' containers do roam internationally - they're a fairly common sight on trucks and rail cars over here. I've never seen 48' or 53' versions over here though, so I suspect they aren't found outside North America. What's always puzzled me is how do ships cope with the extra 5'? Shipping containers were designed around a 20' grid (20' and 40' lengths) so surely 45' containers throw a major spanner in the works?
