Botany Bay and Catchment Alliance

 Welcome to the future of container shipping.  The next assault on Botany Bay will come with the dredging of the shipping channel to allow the mega container ships entry.  The biggest at present is the Danish Emma Maersk which can carry 11,000 - 14,000 TEUs, 397 metres long, cruises at 27knots and only needs a crew of 13. ……and a draught of 30 metres.  Built to load up mana from China for delivery in Europe.
