With loading ports apparently Qingdao, Yangshan, Daxie, Xiamen and Yantian - calls at Singapore and Westport (MYS) - then direct to Malaga, it's difficult to see why they would bring empties on a pointless round trip. A lot of stuff coming from China is volume cargo of no great weight (even my roll of bubble-wrap has Made in China). But something still doesn't seem quite right, somehow. It will be interesting to see how she looks at later ports of call. Currently due Rotterdam 1100UTC 22/1.

The lower once are most probably loaded once,, but the containers above tier 4, may be five are sure empty for the stacking weight restrictions already

LOOK HERE, yesterday in Veracruz
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2395208
apparently pretty full,,look at the draft mark,, pretty light weight actually for that amount of container on deck,, or just a lot empties between ?
or this one
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2395210
went alongside just ahead of me
when it looks full it is not necessarily really full.
btw,,one can also show nicely a full ship by mark when one takes on more ballast as really needed :-)

Capt Ted's cynicism about the shipping industry is sometimes leading to naive statements that one would perhaps not expect from a serving ship's master at tbe "sharp end" of the shipping industry

Just went alongside Veracruz, and guess what,,pilot told me ,,most container vessel coming now half empty.
MSC does not call Veracruz anymore on regular basis as before (all as per pilot)but comes now together with Maersk, so out of two ships one looks full. Those ships coming from East to EU are usually full container,,but look at the above,,also not on draft mark !!! Which means a lot of those container in the 7-8-9 tier are empties. Where I sail around, mostly North-south-Central america,,most container ships are 50-70 % full,,, To the EU they make them full by empties in order to show they are FULL

And does it already alarm it's WAY too much of ~400m long ships in a recent decade than before?
