Someone posted a thread on here about a freighter and a tanker ship models. The freighter was much smaller than the typical modern container ship. I don't know if any are still in use, but at the terminal I used to work for in L. A. harbor we used to get small ships in that would have a combination of containers and break bulk loads. For a time frame, I worked in the harbor from 1978 to 1989. They would have containers on deck and bulk loading below deck. I think these small ships served small countries and islands that didn't have the space or equipment to handle the large container ships. I don't remember which forum the thread was in, or who posted it originally, but perhaps someone who can find it would link it to this thread.
