Indeed, and thank you Gary for pointing them out to us!
Did you notice, by the way:

These are so old, this could well be the first LEGO/Maesrk cross-promotion. :D

Yes, I did notice that. It was also in the Building Idea Book #1. It looks like
LEGO and Maersk have been cooperating for a long time. Maybe Maersk is the
official truck hauling company for TLG, and always has been.

I wonder how Maersk feels about the Colorline Semi? It seems to be exactly the
same as the fabled Maersk Truck.
That is, of course, assuming anyone at Maersk cares. :D

D'oh. Very similar, but not the same. I stand corrected by myself.
Well, I mean, I don't stand by myself, I am corrected by myself, which is a
totally different thing....

I am no shipping expert, it's not my real interest. But this did
interest me enough to go digging. (because I am container crazy...)
If you go HERE:
http://www.maersk.com
you can get to HERE:
http://www.apmoller.com/main/background/background.shtml
where you learn that while A.P. Moller was a Swede, A.P. Moller (owners
of Maersk) HQ is in Copenhagen. Any other line as big as Maersk based
out of Denmark?
I like Maersk a lot, they run a tight operation.
Quoting without permission:
"For further information we recommend the book "With Constant Care..."
written by Ove Hornby
about shipowner A.P. Møller (1876-1965). The book is also available in
Danish under the title
"Ved rettidig Omhu...".
The books are published by J.H. Schultz Information in Denmark and are
available through
bookstores under ISBN 87-569-2358-9 (English version) and ISBN
87-569-2334-1 (Danish
version). "
Now, why would it be in Danish and not Swedish??? :-)
