Unfortunately it appears that Medium Azure (as the color is called in the Bricklink Database) is a new color that will likely replace Maersk blue.

While this color does more closely resemble the actual recent color of the new Maersk line of ships... the parts won’t have quite the allure and “exclusivity” that Maersk blue had. :(

So I would think that Maersk blue may end up as a retired color... since non Maersk LEGO products cannot have this Moller-Maersk trademarked color.

Get your Maersk colored LEGO while supplies last!

P.S. Here’s a little background on Maersk and their early years with TLG (from my next DVD/download)... http://www.youblisher.com/p/665550-MAERSK-EARLY-LEGO-MODELS/

I posted this LDD MOC well over a year ago but I finally got around to taking pictures of the final product! Also attached a pic of the old girl underway for reference.

Enjoy, drc

Some info about the S.S. Lane Victory: Victory class merchant ship launched May 31, 1945. One of 531 hulls built, she sailed as a cargo vessel during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War. She participated in the amphibious evacuation of Wonson and Hungnam during the Korean war, rescuing over 7000 Korean refugees in one trip.

She is currently a museum ship moored today in San Pedro, California and a memorial honoring all merchant seamen. Today the S.S. Lane Victory conducts annual summer “Victory at Sea” cruises enabling today’s generations experience what life at sea was like during the war.

With all those kayaks on my desk, I figured out it was time to build a boat house for Bregnerod Kayak Club:



The roof isn’t quite done yet. And I may decide to build the boat house long enough to have space for all the kayaks.

Play well,

Jacob
