I take it this is all at 1/400 scale? Really VERY nicely done!

I think you might be able to replicate many of the container stacks within the marshalling area of the container terminal using the container stacks from the ship files, just make sure you limit the heights to what is usually found in the actual terminals land-side, which is three to four high...there are some instances where empty containers are stacked higher, but keep in mind the efficiency of terminal operations try to limit the number of moves needed to get to a particular container, so three to four is the usual limit, as far as I can recall.

Really loving what you are doing with this project!

Cheers!
Jim
I think the maximum stacking height is 4, as that is how tall those car carriers are...
