That ship looks exactly as what I have seen "Sealand Atlantic" and "Sealand Performance", and I wonder, how many of that type got built ? If you know something, I'd be interested :-)

There is a fine book titled "Box Boats, How Container Ships Changed the World" Author Brian J. Cudahy, which is really the history of Sea-Land Services. In this book you will find that Sea Land Atlantic (ex American Oklahoma) and Sea Land Commitment (ex American California)were two of 12 "Econoliners", (so-called Daewoo Dozen) built for United States Lines and later aquired by Sea-Land after the bankruptcy of US Lines. They were under-powered and rather slow (18 knots) but very large at the time. Sea-Land modified some of them, such as Sea Land Motivator (ex American New Jersey) which was shortened to 856 ft.

You're welcome. Referencing the Box Boats book again, the 12 were: Sea Land Atlantic (ex American Oklahoma; Sea Land Integrity (ex American Virginia); Sea Land Motivator* (ex American New Jersey); Sea Land Performance (ex American Washington); Sea Land Pride* (ex American Kentucky); Sea Land Quality (ex American Illinois); Sea Land Achiever (ex American Alabama); Sea Land Commitment (ex American California); Newark Bay (ex American Utah); Sea Land Value* (ex American Maine); Nedlloyd Holland (ex American New York); and Nedlloyd Hudson (ex American Nebraska). (*) These three were the ones modified by shortening. Oh, and finally they weren't called Econoliners the correct name was Econships.

Thanks very very much for giving me lessons like that !! This is very interesting ! So all the ships went to Maersk or whereabouts did they go alltogether ? Alot of the older ships seem to go to Maersk and MSC (especially MSC). Not sure whether the book you mentioned is available in Europe though, I'm going to take a look ! :-D http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=518809 Here's the Sea-Land Performance
