There were "niche" opportunities and cargoes still, I suppose. However, I agree. The container boom was sudden and overwhelming! Super P (66-68): up to 160 containers on deck. Bay boat (71-72): about 2200. Last M's (similar in size to the Super P's) (1977): 750 teu. Mk.1 RoRos (smaller than a Bay, Panamax) (1979): about 5500 teu but able to carry just about anything. And all the while, BF trying to get into LNG (100% Failure), bulkers and OBO's (Not very successful). And when BF went down the tubes, it was fast!
