I have been away in Oz for 3 weeks and have only just caught up with the Maersk renamings of the PO Nedlloyd vessels.
I must say that I am a bit dissappointed, I had hoped that Maesrk would at least regognise in a small way they history of both P&O and Nedlloyd, and rename the vessels Maersk Mairangi, Maersk Remuera, for example.
But they seem intent on removing any trace at all of P&O Nedlloyd.
The D series names that they are giving to the 4100 class are awfull.
Does anyone out there have any idea what the rationale of these name are, ie, are they cities, provinces or what.
Damascus and Dominica are obvious, but what of the others, what do they mean.
As For Needsville, good god!!, is one to be called "Sackville"!!.
