Hong Kong Stock Photo - Tour of Container Ship

Today, many thanks to our friend ET, the manager of one of HK’s shipping companies we got to tour a real container ship. From bow to stern, crows nest to bilges, we saw it all. Our tour guide a lovely Indian fellaw by the name of Mahesh a 19 year old Cadet serving his apprentice on board the ship. He gave us the grand tour of the ship and explained what every valve, pump and pulley was for. The Ship “Hong Kong Star” is 179m in length and weights 22,000 tons and carries 1780 TEU… A very informative afternoon. Unfortunately for us the weather was poor, very hazy and the light was just not in our favour, however, ET has promised to take us again when the next ship comes into port in a few weeks time, this one will also be a much bigger ship… So very soon we will once again be adding to our collection of Hong Kong Container Ship Stock Photos available in our Alamy library…
