My hubby got a shirt from a friend at work the other day, it says "Unemployment: Made in China" and it's a fact here in the states. The thing is, they're not too bright..first they take the piecemeal jobs some of us could use to survive then they make everything with lead so the people they sell to will die...isn't that kind of killing your market?...This is a huge ship, great shot.

It most certainly was impressive. I was very lucky to be there just in time!

Die is groot zeg Wat een prachtig schip! Hij is net zo groot als die ene in Rotterdam, is 't niet? Prachtig!

Ik heb de containers niet geteld, maar het lijkt me dat hij net iets kleiner is. De toegang tot het canaal via de sluizen van Ijmuiden dwingt tot bepaalde beperkingen die je in Rotterdam niet hebt.

Als ik mijn superdeluxe Canon EOS 40D met Sigma 18-200 F3.5-5.6 OS heb, moeten we maar eens persmuskieten nadoen

Yes, the ocean going containerships of this size are really impressive! At the Kiel Canal we only get the so-called feeders, small container ships running from Hamburg through the canal into the Baltic Sea.

Well when they go past me they are too far out to see!

Yes, canals are a great thing: they have to be close-by.

Just as they all do, I suppose, sometimes losing a container or two...

Maybe I'm wrong but I always thought NYK was a Japaneese Company. I work for Maersk Sealand (US) at times on a Containership and the run in Europe is Rotterdam , Bremerhaven, and Felixstowe.

Nice picture!!

I think that you are right as the ship was built in Japan in 2003. It seems to be running more often to Amsterdam. We were very lucky to be at the canal just a the right moment.

Het is vast een leeg schip, voor zover het leeg genoemd mag worden met zoveel containers aan boord.

Het ligt namelijk erg hoog in het water, niettemin 'n indrukwekkend gezicht, en een prachtig in beeld gebracht schip.

Dit is inderdaad goed gezien, maar wat moet een schip met lege containers in Amsterdam?

Laden? Om vervolgens richting China te gaan.
