Hong Kong Shipping Stock Photo - SALE!!!

This image sold yesterday for US$220 under a Royalty Free license…

As much as I hate to admit it Royalty Free is a licesing model that is here to stay and one that we as photographer had better get used to.

Some would say that this image aught to be Rights Managed, but the way I look at it is this, there are no people in it and no really identifiable places… Also access to a Container ship, while not easy is quite a common thing. The other factor I considered when marking these as RF is the body of similar, but not quite as good RF material already in  Alamy…

Well these are the keywords that did it… Available for sale in my Alamy library… South East Asia Asian longshoreman heavy lift cranes asian southeast asia SAR china orient reverse tractor type twin 360 degree azimuthing propulsion units trucks asian southeast asia SAR china orient TEU capacity infastructure Pearl River Delta Region Port Development Council fragrant harbour superb deep water harbour safe haven close proximity Pearl River Delta world class busiest prosperity economic growth handling cargo throughput industrialising hub global supply chain Free Trade Port customs duties excise international shipping lines liner services destinations worldwide facilities are financed owned operated private sector strategic planning port facilities supporting infrastructure Modern Terminals Ltd MTL Hongkong International Terminals Ltd HIT COSCO HIT DPI Terminals and Asia Container Terminals Ltd ACT Tsing Yi Victoria Lloyd s Register Marine Department worker globalization trade deficit Chinese imbalance tariffs WTO World Trade Organisation exporters import export worker globalization trade deficit Chinese imbalance tariffs WTO World Trade Organisation exporters import export
