Re: London Gateway today
True Brian , Sad but true. We had OCL in the 70's & 80's and bit by bit we surrendered the lot. They had the Tokyo Bay class cost a fortune to re engine as they were twin screw steam ships which due to the oil crisis of 1973 just made them to expensive to run so they were converted to Motor ships. This happened to other ACT Line as well I believe. I know OCL started life as a consortium Ocean Fleets, Furness, British & Commonwealth and P&O. I think P&O bought the others out and then joined up with Nedlloyd until Maresk Line got there hands on the lot, BIG company just a shame they cannot keep the containers onboard at the moment.
