Arthur Maersk



I was untroduced to a lovely model today. But it turns out that the model was a ship and went by the name of Arthur.

This scale model of Arthur Maersk was sent to our office today and now sits nicely visible from the office window. It is about 7ft long so did not fit in the lift. It took four of us to trail it up the stairs. At times we thought raising the Titanic would have been an easier Friday afternoon exercise!

It may not seem that interesting to all of you . But I hope it goes some way to help those of you who after I tell you I work for Maersk you say - who? or what do they do? Well as the photo suggests we do shipping - containers to and from more countries than you probably know of (except Ramsey of course).

Nice shipmodel, it is actually of an old A-class containership, built in the mid of the 70ies. Most of them are srapped nowadays already, so you have got a real oldie here :-)
