Description:

Although there are better shots posted of this one, take a good look. She's empty, and sitting at a yard with
no containers. She's reached the magic age of 20 years, when containerships all wend their way towards the
scrap yard, and employees say she's now owned by Greek concerns, her owner showing as NEW CONTAINER
NO 5 SHPG INC. She's sitting at the newly completed, fully automated phase 1 of the Long Beach Container
Terminal, and remained there several months while they did trial runs on the automated handling equipment.

She did go to sea several times for a few days, nominally for “Hull Cleaning.” But on 24 February she departed with the destination of Shanghai, and very likely the end of her career.
