[BITList] Ultra-large Boxships

[M.j. Feltham]

Liverpool, next year, hopes to start on building two large container berths in the R.Mersey.  This is creating a lot of interest locally, especially amongst the maritime retired folk.

Whilst trying unsuccessfully to open an article in todays Lloyds List about "Ultra-large boxships test ports' capabilities" I came across the following article.  You might like to read about these Jumbo vessels !
