Hi there I am very uneducated with ships and where they can go etc, but one ship I want to know more about is the Ocean Network Express Apus ship.

Has/ would this ever come to the UK?

It was at Southampton in October last year. Then it had the stack collapse and has been in Kobe, Japan since December.

I guess maybe the thread title was supposed to be ONE Apus Etc...
your right! I never noticed this, that’s the phone, having just typed “apus” to see, it does actually change it! Thanks for highlighting

It would appear to have visited Southampton on 11/5/20 as there's a picture of it (attached below and not mine) and also off the IOW on the Marine Traffic website.

Seems it had a bit of an incident last year and lost loads of containers overboard in a storm and is currently back in Kobe Japan.
Pleased to see that it has been to Southampton! I might use the site you mentioned in future to track it’s movements again (once it’s back in action!) and if it’s due there again I may plan a trip to go and see it. I did buy a car from Japan before, I cannot remember the vessel now, but I vaguely remember a website given to me by the importer which gave me updates on the location which was fun at the time to see where my car was! Thanks

I have read this evening about the incident, it still seems to be a big on going process I can’t believe that!

I do wonder when this will be resolved!
