Great shot Ken,
But its a shame to see these ships sailing around virtually empty. The charter rates for box ships are still pitifully low. Not a business I would like to be in at the moment.
Regards
John J.

Hi Ken,
Nice pictures of this almost empty former Choapa.
It's always a strange sight a bigger ship so empty.
Regards,
Frederik & Gerda :-D

Hi Frederik & Gerda

Thank you for your comment, I was very surprised to see her empty like that, she looked very large as she came down the river and she was closer to the river bank than is usual.

Regards
Ken
