Hi Alf in the UK I don't think the dockers made much differance to our MN I think that poor management was the main blame IE why did Cunard invest in QE2 or the Union Castle Line build 3 new Liners 2 cargo vessels when they new container and RO RO ships along with air travel were making inroads to the traditional trade. after poor management the Government didn't do the MN aney favours either.And I often wonder if our shipping Co's ever got there full compensation for WW2 losses Concidering the country was Bankrupt at the end of WW2 I very much doubt it Regards George in Southampton
