Thanks a bunch Bison, I'm all about more ships! Been meaning to say thanks for the Gearing too.

[David Prosser]

An excellent addition for post WWII.

[VandelayOfficial]

Very nice, Bison! Post war civilian ships are something we can never have too many of lol.

Excellent, thank you.
But Maersk containers should not be there. Danish Blue Machine entered container business in 1970s.

Brilliant expansion, Bison_M.

Indeed.
My container skins were aimed for current companies or brands, or only a bit old even not current.

For SS Ideal-X, Pan-Atlantic Steamship Company logo with SEA-LAND (logo) SERVICE lettering container is the best fit ?
Next plan Sealand 's SL logo with all capital SEA /SL/ LAND container in 1970 ?

I'll provide it (no promise till when).

Ah... +1

In researching Ideal-X time container paints, I find it was not ISO standard containers 40ft / 20ft, but Malcom McLean original 35ft long one (8 feet wide by 8 feet high).
(EDIT: Malcom McLean began to use 35x8x8 container after sold Ideal-X ; Ideal-X carried 33ft long <unknown w x h, but perhaps also 8x8> one.

I'll make the new 3D also.

Glad you liked idea, gentlemen.
I used the existing T2 tanker and containers 20 feet.
Of course, the real container ship "Ideal X" used 33-foot containers.

http://www.aseanlines.com/Show.aspx?id=2907

If you look closely (see 1 post) - will see the difference between the real T2 tanker and the one in the game. Compare to the distance between the bow and the central superstructure, as well as between the central and aft superstructure.
Now between the stern superstructure and the central superstructure are placed 5 rows of 20-foot containers. If you replace them with 30-foot - it will fit less. However, in the nose - should be three rows of containers in the bow with respect to the five on stern. 20-foot now 5 rows.
If striving for absolute accuracy, then need to rework tanker.
I'm not sure that I will be able to correctly change the ratio of the size of the existing vessel.
But in any case, it would be interesting to see 33 feet containers in the game.

Best wishes.

Indeed...

Still, if you find time in future to introduce those Sea Land boxes, it will be great. At least as the effort to "immortalize" McLean's achievements. He really changed the world but not many people outside the shipping industry understand that.
