If the photo has more than one container vessel in it, add it to the sub category titled "Containerships including more than one ship", unless all vessels are within the same year subcategory in which case the photo should be added to the subcategory for that year.
If the photo has more than one vessel in it and one is not a containership, add it to the Shipping category
If applicable, add the photo to the Ships Under Construction category, or the Ships in Dry-dock category - not this one.
