its time people realized that EU controls subsidies and unlike the French this country plays by the rules and asks permission for the granting of any subsidies

Ships that pass in the night, seldom seen and soon forgoten
Great pics. I hope the quality of the cranes is up to standard. I buy a few things from china off ebay and quality not great. Looking at the size of them they probably move as fast as a liverpool docker!. Whole logistical concept of container shipping amazes me.keeping tabs on where they all are.
I agree with you fish, I passed the container base going out of Liverpool along the A565 a few weeks ago and was staggered how many there were, and thought exactly the same as you . Wonder how many containers get sent to the wrong destinations? Surely their system cant be 100%- its not the Liverpool way!

Who likes this ? Are they the same ones as part of the skyline ?

when I was going to the pictures in New Brighton couple of months ago,they were practising unloading a ship.I got told they are controlled by computers.
If you ever caught the the TV series 'The Wire' there was a number ofepisodes centred around the docks and mishandling cargo containers - showed rudiments of a control system too.
Chinese container shipping group just gone tits up and there are loads of container ships tootling round with nowhere to go. Running out of food for crews so something will have to happen soon. Port authorities won't let them in because there is no guarantee of payment for facilities. What a way to run a battleship.
