Container ships

[cteno4]

The subject of container ships on layouts has come up in a number of threads so i thought i would start one that was focused on that.

 

There are smaller feeder coastal container ships in japan. It's declined some with truck taking more, but still there.

Small ones are just about 250' (20") and 42' beam (3.4")

Very cool!  Small vessel transport is very widespread in asia, I recall the split between trucks/ships is something like 50%/40% in Japan.  I wish there were more 1/150 models of vessels.  I remember seeing quite a few loading with small cargo while I was there.

Coastal shipping was hanging in there with trucking. There was a great presentation I found a couple of day ago and I can't find it again...

A friend would like to know if they are available as Japanese containers.

These are all international ISO 20 and 40' containers. Many of the shipping companies you see on ships and in ports world wide.

 

i think I do have some PDFs of smaller Japanese containers someone did, ill look. Japanese specific ones will usually be the smaller in country rail containers.

Scale Scenes might be a better place to ask that than here ?

Hi all, we at N Toppia are creating a port 14m x 3m, it when finished will be known as Bridgeport.                   When complete it will have 2 Container ships and 2 Pure car carriers tied up along side the wharves.             Also there will be 6 Ship to shore cranes servicing the OOCL Hong Kong ship model that I'm building at the moment.
