A container ship at the Vice City terminal with its name in white capitals on a green hull: BTN DELMAR, the largest vessel in this database and the one you almost certainly cannot drive.
The ship runs across the back of the frame at 0:23.27 of Trailer 1, low and long, its hull painted green with BTN DELMAR in white capitals and a small red and white house mark in front of the name. Containers are stacked several high on deck in mixed colours; the name BILGECO reads in red on several of them, and the smaller marks on the others do not come apart at this size. Gantry cranes stand over the ship with their booms lowered towards the stacks, a spreader hangs from one of them with a container in it, and the terminal runs off to the left.
Behind the terminal sits the Vice City skyline in haze, a causeway crosses the water on the left, and an airliner hangs nose-up in the top left corner of the frame. In front of the ship, and much closer to the camera, speedboats are running hard and throwing spray: the top of a yellow and green hull with two people aboard, a blue and white one to the right, and a teal one further left, cut off by the bottom of this crop.
The record is here because the name is legible, not because the vessel is a vehicle in any useful sense. What it establishes is that there is a working container port with named shipping in it. GTA 5’s port had that too: the Daisy Lee at the Port of Los Santos was a heist target rather than a vehicle, and this ship is likely to be scenery of the same kind until something shows otherwise.
How to recognise it
- BTN DELMAR in white capitals on a green hull, with a red and white mark before the name
- Deck containers stacked several high, several of them reading BILGECO
- Gantry cranes over the ship, terminal running off to the left
- Vice City skyline and a causeway behind; speedboats in front
The frame it comes from
The frame is Trailer 1 at 0:23.27. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 2438 by 745 of it. Also in it: the container port and a yellow-decked offshore race boat.
How this was measured
| Source | Trailer 1, 0:23.27 |
|---|---|
| Frame | 3840 × 2160 |
| Crop | 2438 × 745 — a good part of the frame |
| Image check | 25 September 2026 — crop checked against the frame |
| Text check | 27 September 2026 — 30 claims read against the image, 3 corrected |
| Read at | the true pixel grid, 1:1 |
| Lettering | Letter height | Contrast | Reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTN DELMAR | 55 px | — | every character |
| BILGECO | 27 px | — | every character |
| the marks on the other containers | 15 px | — | no |
These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work
What we still do not know
- Whether the ship is boardable, or scenery
- What BTN stands for. It sits where a shipping line’s initials would.
- Whether the container port is a location you can enter
- Everything measured: nothing about this one is measurable yet
A note on this record
Rebuilt on 22 September 2026 against the 4K frame, with a reading record on the crop. Everything on the page held; the container lettering now says which name reads and which do not, and the airliner over the terminal is in. Our own note on this sighting read SETH DELMAR until 14 September 2026; the hull reads BTN DELMAR. Checked again on 25 September 2026 at 1:1 on the crop. The frame holds more than two speedboats, so the page no longer counts them.
Also in these frames
Measured in the same frames as the images above, but without a page of their own. Same rule as everywhere else: what the crop carries, with the source and the timecode. The ones whose frame no page shows are collected in the frame.
