I know I'm droning on now....

Shows the scale of these leviathan container ships. The tiny boat adjecent to the Hooper gives an idea of scale.

Awesome shot, Chris! Thanks for sharing this with us. Take care always!

Great shot Chris.    Container ships just keep on getting bigger and bigger.  Same applies to some of the newer oil tankers.

Thank you, they do...I'd love to do a rig, but they are way way beyond VLOS and a helicopter ride away...

That's nice: three sizes...

Nice shot,  is that a pilot ship next to it?

That's very cool!

I thought that too, but it seems odd that they board so close to the port.
Here in Rotterdam they board while still at sea.

Cheers Peter, got lucky with the location and light I think.

Thank you, not sure, possibly transferring crew, was / is always a bit breezy there, so battery life more of an issue than I've found elsewhere so couldn't loiter...Only time that I wish I'd had more than 3 batteries...

Something about the colour scheme that made me think it was,  that or coastguard maybe.

The type of vessel does look like port authorities indeed.
But they come and go in whatever takes them I guess.
