Yep, the ships follow a crcular route dropping and loading containers as they go at many ports.

Indeed... I doubt the Majestic will keep a UK port on it's route for long as we simply don't export enough. That called here as it's Maiden Port (I believe) so Maersk could collect a load of fresh air (empty containers) that they were paying storage on. The previously biggest Maersk vessel (Maersk Emma) and it's sister ship, the name of which escapes me, both did the same. At any one time Felixstowe probably has in excess of 25,000 empty Maersk containers that it is charging storage on :-X ::)

My mate works for one of the big oil and gas companies in shipping and spends quite a lot of time in Korea at the shipyards. He must like dogmeat!  ;D

Snap but I seem to be spending time in China and Brasil at the moment!

My mate also goes to China quite a lot.  He does quality control spot checks and by all accounts causes quite a kerfuffle when he shows up!  Apparently Chinese welding isn't great!!  ::)  An opening for Gixer perhaps?  ;D

ABS or DNV?

Neither, a Brit oil & gas company, but I'd imagine he deals with one or both of those organisations on a regular basis.  :-\
