Laakdiep first call at Europe



The Portuguese flagged (Madeira Registry), German owned "Laakdiep". This brand new vessel (delivered July) made her first call at an European port (Viana) last week. Built in China, she loaded steel for several ports.

Any reason why the name on the bow is so huge?

Hi Fred,

Being built in China they probably use the same lettering for every ship, small or big...

In fact it does not look good.

Tem feições achinesadas, o rapaz... Se os interiores forem como outro "made in China" em que andei, no qual as cadeiras se desmanchavam automáticamente após os Europeus se sentarem....

Then again, it does make it easier for other ships to read it. But that is what AIS is for.
