looking at those blocks am guessing each part is around 200 containers

10 points for griffindor.

Two things to remember and alleviate things a little. Not all containers are carried above deck,some are in the holds. Secondly when referring to the container capacity they are referring to a measure known as TEU's That is twenty foot equivalent units so as many are 40 ft they count as 2 TEU.

Still a lot but hope it helps a little

Wow!!! I've been looking for one for years before I decided to design my own. I don't know how you found that one. - J

do you have a link for this?

[elliott]

Address didn't work for me. Probably best not to post link or address in public. Sounds like a pirate site. Suggest sending it privately by PM to Jon.

EDIT
Pics & model are legit - see post 22.
