Maersk Line said a couple of ships laid up at Loch Striven, Scotland, served as the backdrop for a futuristic television program the BBC filmed in January
An article in the carrier's Weekly Highlights said a location manager for the program and a former fisherman, read about them on the BBC Web site and said, “We couldn’t have built a set like this, it’s simply incredible!”
The plot? "100 years from now, the apocalypse has happened. Our world is gone, replaced by a machine world, hard edged, caged, enormous, too dark, too light, full of challenge, full of terror -- and overrun by Roboidz with factories where they are producing more of themselves. They are everywhere. They are unstoppable," explains the show's Web site.
Sounds a bit like the industry’s containership order book.
