The Thames to Antwerpen/Anvers

According to my (free) “locate my ship” website, Our Ship the Hyundai Singapore was supposed to be bound from Hamburg to Felixstowe. Either they made an error or the ship’s captain changed his mind and docked in the Thames instead (below is a screenshot taken 5 minutes ago, showing her having completed the task and departing towards the channel bound for the next port of call.)

Antwerp is located on the right (eastern) bank of the River Scheldt in Belgium, linked to the North Sea by the Westerschelde Estuary. Antwerp is the capital of the Antwerp Province, and is written “Antwerpen” in Dutch and “Anvers” in French on the signposts in Belgium.
