When I captured this image of the 54401 Gross Ton Container ship Singapore Express in October 2014 she was approximately 14 years old having been built in South Korea in 2000. What I did not know then is that she would remain in service for a further 6 years until 2020 when she was sent for scrapping at Alang India. I do not know why she was scrapped when she was only 20 years old but presume that her limited container carrying capacity of 4843 units made her uneconomic. When I saw her she was Registered in Hong Kong and was operated by the Hapag-Lloyd shipping company. The image was captured from the upper deck of the Blue Funnel vessel Ocean Scene that was on an excursion to see and photograph a number of cruise ships that were departing the Port of Southampton later that day.
