Arrival of First Container Ship - Implies Container Ships Developed in 1960s Instead of 1950s

As written, the article appears to contradict Containerization and Container_ship which refer to the development of purpose-built container ships as occurring in the 1950s, rather than the 1960s, as the Port of Tokyo article implies. The referenced source for the statement doesn't help clarify the apparent contradiction. Perhaps the reference is to the first container ship to call at a Japanese port?

What does the article say: With the development of the container transport system in the late 1960's^[1], the Port of Tokyo responded swiftly and brought the first fully container ship in the world to call on Japan into the Shinagawa terminal in 1967 ^[2] thus establishing the Port of Tokyo as a major international trade port. The article says "in the late 1960's so it's ok. And yes it's for the first container ship to arrive in Japan not the world. Mario1987 17:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I think I understand now. I re-wrote the final paragraph of the history section to more closely reflect the references cited and to (IMHO) make the timeline a little clearer. See what you think. And, thanks... Geoff ^T ^C 19:30, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's ok! Mario1987 19:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
