Into the Channel

The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, located in the city of Rotterdam.  From 1962 until 2002 it was the world’s busiest port, now overtaken by first Singapore and then Shanghai. In 2011 Rotterdam was the world's fifth-largest port in terms of annual cargo tonnage. Covering 105 square kilometres, the port of Rotterdam now stretches over a distance of 40 kilometres.

And of what interest is the Port of Rotterdam to us? Well, Rotterdam is the next destination for HS Our Ship (The container vessel Hyundai Singapore, remember?) She is due in port this weekend 16th. Currently moving Northwards at 18 knots in the English Channel.
