What it's like to sail a giant ship on the world's busiest seas

The BBC has taken a trip on the Ebba Maersk. While some of its commentary won’t be news to Loadstar readers (“Nearly all the things you own came from somewhere else in the world and they reached you by ship”), this is interesting in that it describes how busy the world’s shipping lanes are becoming. And the Ebba must pass UASC’s Barzan, another ULCV, as it comes into Felixstowe. A light Friday read, with good pics.
