They may be empty, if that pic was taken at a US port just before departure
during the reload process. (we import a lot more goods in containers than we
export)
Also, the ship is nowhere near capacity... count the empty rows, it's got maybe
1/3 of its full load of containers, if I am not mistaken.
Slightly off topic, Nik and I built a copy of _the set_ today. Sort of a boring
build but a *very* neat model. We added a few containers in other colors for
filler to bulk up the load somewhat... I kept them mostly hidden since I don't
have Evergreen/HYUNDAI/CAST/PONL/APL etc stickers to decorate with.
