These are results of frequent Panama Canal transits...

And a white hull is not very practical for that matter. Even so it looks good in the beginning

The late Marmion Marsh of Safmarine must be turning in his grave :(

One of the problems with keeping vessels paint fresh these days is that in many ports it is not allowed while cargo operations are taking place. Container ships don't have much non working time alongside. Add to that coronavirus restrictions in many ports do not even allow crew onto the quayside, and the problem of keeping ships looking smart is apparent. Gone are the days when you could paint over the side on a bit of staging!!!!!

Some of the Maersk vessels are not much better http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=3110490

If Maersk owned Safmarine it is disappointing she is in this condition. I would have expected more from them.

Thanks Tony, yep it sure could do with dry docking and word is it with be repainted into Maersk livery since they are phase out Safmarine.

She could do with dry docking and a new coat of paint. Nice photo Paul.
