Sometimes it’s just the little things that matter. The small joys you find can help to make your life that much better, or a bunch of minuscule matters add up and make a horrible day.
In the case of this ship, several little things add up to make her ugly, well maybe not absolutely ugly, but definitely very silly.
First is the fact that she’s owned by Maersk. the universal blue paint job knocks her down a tier just because the color is that wonderful baby blue.
Second is the fact that she, as weird as this may seem, to me looks like a quail. It may just be my opinion, but I’ll let you decide.
If you want a really ugly Maersk’s AHTS – take a look at their T-type, like Maersk Topper:

Sometimes I’m wondering whether the ship is too short or too tall… lol
