That's a great shot Brian!

Thank you Charles.
It was one of those lucky occurrences when I just happened to be passing.
I glanced across, noticed the tug started spraying and couldn't believe the light for a split second.

@scott rawson - lovely images, all of them. Living by the sea, I am very fond of harbours.
"Choppy Days" I always read the names of boats, often they are funny

The name strikes me as an odd one for a shipping vessel. Although, understanding what the cargo is makes it a bit less so, I suppose.

I'm assuming that apparatus at the starboard aft is a loading ramp, indicating this is a roll-on/ roll-off (or RORO) carrier.

Yes it is a RO/RO carrier.

Good Morning,

This is one of the local colleges (Salve Regina) "learn to sail" classes in Newport (RI) harbor yesterday. The sailing instructor was calling out the commands, as every now and then I could hear him on the bullhorn. I was on an overlook (WWII carriage gun emplacement) about 1/2 mile away; plenty of heat shimmer for sure with the RF 800mm f11, which kind of gives it a "painterly" look.

Regards,

Edd

That's a beautiful area. I had the chance to visit there for a few days some years back. Had an ale at the White Horse Tavern. ( a must when in Newport) A return trip is on my bucket list.

LPD-17. Norfolk Navy Ship Yard.

Long story on this one. My little 3 man consulting company designed the rear doors for these boats. They were some of the first efforts by the Navy for low radar cross section requirements.

The Navy was convinced that the doors couldn't meet the requirements and waived them for the upper and lower doors.

Funny story is, we met the requirements. The guy who was building the doors, that I was consulting to, got a special commemoration.

What my company got in return was a lawsuit from the guy in a pathetic attempt to claw back some cash from the construction which he horribly mismanaged.

I wound up getting out from under the lawsuit but it cost me $10k in legal fees and took over 10 years to work itself out.

No good deed goes unpunished..

Bangkok Highway by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Bangkok Highway (IMO: 9506710) is a vehicle carrier registered and sailing under the flag of Japan. She was built in 2011 by Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation, Kobe and is operated by K Line RORO Bulk Ship Management Company.

I photographed the Bangkok Highway as she passed the port light C, FI.R.4s on her departure from the Fremantle Inner Harbour on 16 April 2023. As she passes the North Mole light, she swings to port to follow the Deep Draft Vessel Approach (Transit Corridor). The pilot is expected to depart at the Inner Pilot Boarding Ground. Her next port of call is Shanghai. She was assisted by the tugs, Svitzer Falcon, and Svitzer Redhead.

Whilst in Fremantle she was attended to by Monson Agencies Australia.
