Assembly instructions for the SYDNEY STAR container ship, Order No. 2071
1.

The full-size vessel

Container ships such as the SYDNEY STAR are an increasingly common sight on the world's oceans,
as the use of standardised containers -they are identical the world over -makes it simple and fast to
load and unload goods. For this reason virtually all merchandise is transported by container
nowadays. For long-distance journeys (Asia -Europe -America) large container ships with vast
transport capacity are employed, which can only be accommodated in particular ports. These ports
are specially equipped for handling containers, and for this reason the vessels require no loading
bridge. The containers are then carried on the remainder of their journey by smaller container ships
(coastal vessels), or by road and rail.
2.

The model

The SYDNEY STAR is a semi-scale model of a long-range container ship. It includes all the
characteristic features and details of these vessels, as we wanted the ship to have as realistic an
appearance as possible. Construction of the model is greatly simplified by the high level of pre-
fabrication of the kit's components, many of them CNC-machined or laser-cut, plus the many fittings
included in the kit as standard, including winches, companionways and injection-moulded handrails.
Nevertheless, the model is only recommended for the experienced marine modeller. The two
transverse thrusters at bow and stern allow the model to traverse (move sideways) and turn on the
spot without difficulty, without the need for tugs.
