I wonder if we have any posters that have actually seen them load cars
on those ships? Seems to me that you would have to have some sort of
tie downs. Wouldn't it be unrealistic to expect 5,000 cars to stay put
in a trans-pacific trip? I mean an ordinary storm could cause them to
slide? Unless they are on tracks or something.


I've not seem how they load them, but most imports have a hook under the
front and rear bumpers for exactly that.... Unless those hooks have
been eliminated as a "cost savings"...
