I saw a couple of similar MSC vessels some years ago in Weymouth Bay, SGT.Matej Kocak and PFC. Eugene A.Obregon. They appeared one evening and stayed for a few days, they looked massive. They were the largest vessels I had ever seen at Weymouth/Portland at the time, I'm sure much larger ships have visited since . More recently the smaller 2nd LT.John P bobo was anchored in the bay. Seems they are regular visitors to the UK.
