Yesterday, when crossing The Solent by ferryboat from the Isle of Wight to Southampton, our bow as crossed by a giant containervessel. It appeared to the be the APL Merlion of American President Lines. To my surprise the vessel was registered in Singapore! I always had the idea that American shipping companies operated their vessels under USA flag with American crews as this was required by law. Am I wrong or was this something from the past? Perhaps one of our American friends can enlighten me on this. I sailed on containerships myself ( > 50.000 BRT) but they are dwarfed by this real huge baby This is the above mentioned vessel (picture found on the internet) 73 Hans PA3ERE -- -- THIS IS THE "RADIO OFFICERS, &C" MAIL LIST - UNSUBSCRIBE AND OTHER SETTINGS ARE BELOW.
