Sea freight is essential to the global economy, as many goods are transported this way.

The move went well and we were very busy in the apartment since we had a big renovation going on while we were not there and still have to finish off things. We still need 1,5 to 2 months and than it will be finished. We received the airfreight too, still waiting for the seafreight. We are happy to be home again and still need time to settle down. Will be on flickr but not so much and hopefully will respond to all of you soon!!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and take care! Thank you for all your kind comments, awards, faves and wishes. Love and hugs, Edith :-)

When travelling in 1998 thru Shan-State (Lashio and Kalaw) the first visual impression was: where are the trees? Some locals told me both private entrepreneurs and the government had cut down huge areas and sold to China.
Myanmar had political trouble and was considered some sort of pariah state suffering under embargoes and lack of investments. Next to selling natural resources and precious stones, little was left to refinance the state then to sell even the forests. It also enabled China to get a harbour at the Burmese coast in order to reduce seafreight for its exports. Back in 1998, so I was told when being in Mandalay, 40% of all Mandalay's property would already belong to Chinese traders and companies (I have no sources to confirm or deny it). Apparently, Chinese had a strong influence already then and I wonder how it is now, more than 20 years later.

A vivid pink cargo ship, "ONE HARBOUR," adds a bold and colorful touch to Hamburg’s bustling port. Contrasting against the industrial backdrop of stacked shipping containers and cranes, this eye-catching vessel stands out as a symbol of modern maritime transport. With seagulls in flight and deep blue waters below, this scene captures the dynamic energy of international shipping and trade.
If you get a chance to visit Vancouver, be sure to check out "sunset beach" on the south-west side of Stanley Park.
In addition to some great views of the mountains / ocean, you might see some of the many container ships at anchor.
Some interesting facts about the Port of Vancouver:
There are 28 major sea terminals, including 2 cruise terminals, automotive terminals, bulk and break bulk terminals.
More than $75billion CAD worth of cargo is shipped through Vancouver, which equates to more than 2,800 foreign vessels a year.
If you enjoy watching freighters, bulk container ships or other large ocean-going boats, Vancouver is a great place to visit.

The name of this area is called "Coal Harbour". One of the most noteworthy aspects is the floating gas station (Chevron) that is used to fuel airplanes and water taxis. During the day, there is a lot of activity here. If you like taking photos of seaplanes, this is a great spot.

Lighthouse, Prince Of Wales Pier, Dover, Kent. Before October 1987 there was a cafe building that was wrapped around the middle of this lighthouse. Sadly, during the night of the 15th / 16th October 1987 a severe windstorm caused the vessel 'Seafreight Highway' to come in contact with the cafe and damaged it beyond repair. The Port of Dover demolished the cafe and replaced it with another which opened in 1989. This is now a distinct building from the lighthouse.
As it was:

Nearly a quarter of China's carbon emissions are created by goods manufactured and exported to Western consumers.
In November 2006 the world's largest container ship, the Emma Maersk, sailed into Felixstowe Docks in the UK, laden with 11,000 containers full of Christmas goods.
The Emma Maersk isn't in this photo (or indeed in Felixstowe at the time) but other Maersk Line ships are. The shipping and oil exploration activities of A.P. Moller - Maersk emits as much CO2 as the whole of Denmark, its home country.
The Port of Felixstowe (PFL) is the largest container port in the UK and one of the largest in Europe. It has signed up to the 10:10 initiative; a national drive to cut the UK’s carbon emissions by 10% during 2010.
