Container Spotting
Many years ago, when I was in computer sales, I was involved in try to
sell a computer system to an Edinburgh based shipping line so that they
could track their container boxes all round the world. Well, I didn't
make the sale but driving around I started to notice how many different
companies owned or operated containers. So I started collecting the
names. Here's the list as at 14th January 1998.
