Bulk carriers at the EMO-Mississippihaven, and also those at the EECV-Caland canal are always unloaded, never loaded, as their cargos of iron ore or coal are destined for Germany.

Her arrival draft in Rotterdam was 22.05m even keel, total waterdisplacement was 427673 tons (ship's figures). She was not loaded to the max (= 23m).

It was Indeed a stunning shot, Thanks for Sharing..

I took this picture from the navigation deck on the m.v. RIZE which I piloted outward to sea. Vale Rio arrived earlier that day and was about to start discharging.

Stunning shot of this huge beast.

Given that she's in Rotterdam-Europoort and not Brazil, she must be preparing to unload.

A very impressive photo!

Awesome!! Do we know from this picture whether she is loading or unloading? She looks fairly low in the water as it is. Has she just completed loading?
Regards,

Superb view

Very nice shot! thx for sharing.

Wow, an imposing view. Magnificent.
Thanks for sharing this one. regards, Rick

Tremendous view of VALE RIO DE JANEIRO? Where did you stand to catch? In the other enormous crane? Are you working on those big machines.
Thanks to share that rare angle. Greetings, Robert08
