WATCH: East Coast Feeder: Container feeder BG Jade arrives at Felixstowe; Monday 11 September 2023
Although the largest container ships only call at a limited number of ports around the world, there is still sufficient demand for shorter distance sea carriage to justify a wide range of feeder services, linking smaller ports with major hubs like Felixstowe and Rotterdam.

WATCH: Timelapse Swing: Container ship Oakland swings before going alongside Felixstowe berth 9; 10 September 2023
This 2000-built container ship is around ¾ of the length of today's ultra-large container ships, but only half their width - and she is just 66,464 Gross Tonnage, around a third of those vessels GT.
But she is still capable of earning a living, and is still a vital part of the system.

WATCH: Steam Ship? MSC England arrives from Bremerhaven, at 8.20am, 5 September, 2023.
Although it looks like the 2001-built MSC England has returned to steam power, what you see is the steam exhaust plume from her scrubber, which cleans up the main engine exhaust by "scrubbing" it within a water spray, which takes removes much of the toxic and dangerous chemistry released by using Heavy Fuel Oil as her main fuel.

WATCH: Nothing Much Aboard! Celcius London arrives amazingly light; 25 August 2023.
2007-built container ship Celsius London has had a number of names, but her most noteable was back in 2015, when she had a spell as William Shakespeare until around 2020.
A day after we filmed this, she is back at sea, on her way towards Kotka, Finland.

We rarely look at ships outside the environs of major ports, so this clip begins looking Southeast as Ever Acme arrives on Monday morning, completing Felixstowe's Beach End Turn. She then passes behind the bulk of the Landguard Fort, built in the 1740s on the site of previous fortifications.

WATCH: MSC Daisy sails from Felixstowe, towards Antwerp, around 7.20am, 5 August 2023.
Although she is a fairly run of the mill container ship, MSC Daisy had an interesting few calls before her most recent run into the Med.
She sailed up the Bristol Channel to Portbury, up the Clyde to Greenock, and finally up the Mersey to Liverpool, all of which ports would like to enjoy more container traffic from the major lines.

WATCH: 8,500 TEU container ship Cosco Indonesia arrives at Felixstowe from an Eastern Med circuit; around 8.20am, 4 August 2023.
Back in 2000, when I was sailing around off the East Coast and the English Channel, 8,000 TEU Container ships were about the biggest you could get!
Cosco Indonesia was built in 2010, after the shipping lines started building 400 metre-long ships like Emma Maersk, so even then, she wasn't one of the biggest.
