Not wanted on voyage

The Sealand Michigan

Reading through the paperwork sent by our international movers this afternoon, I noticed that they have even specified which container vessel they will be shipping our worldly goods on. A swift search on Google produced a good few pictures showing the 75,000 tonne Sealand Michigan, like the one above. Seeing all those containers stacked that way reminds me of nothing so much as a giant game of topple blocks and this image doesn’t sit well with the phrase ‘total loss insurance’ which features prominently in the shippers’ contract.
