That's exactly what I like, too. I once had the same problem with her sister San Francisco Bridge, when I really thought (judging from her design) she must be at least 10 years old... and then discovered she was built in 2010.

Unfortunately I don't know if MSC London will call at Hamburg. About two years ago (I think) MSC and Maersk have withdrawn all big ships (13,000 TEU or more) from the Hamburg service. Let's see if (like Maersk did) MSC is coming back with the big ones...
Cheers, Jens

Good shot Jens....& retro @ 2007, well, that is about right! However, I do like the goalpost mainmasts that the Japanese favoured. Just comparing her with the new 16,000 teu 'MSC London', currently on sea trials. Will she call at Hamburg I wonder?
Regards, Rick

Yes, she's a nice one. To me this looks a bit like a retro design:-) Thanks Shaun.
