PANSTAR GENIE NO.2

Ro-ro and container carrier Panstar Genie No. 2 is a common sight in the Kanmon Straits (Kanmon Sight?). Sanstar Line Co., Ltd. operates both a ferry service between Busan and Osaka as well as an impressive variety of cargo services. Panstar ships are always a pleasure to see while ship spotting the Kanmon Straits of Japan.

Heck, even tourists from faraway lands are happy to see them. Sanstar Line's Osaka-Busan Ferry PANSTAR GENIE NO. 2  The rust on the stern is charming and oh so very Osaka. This roro container ship was built in 2001 and might be due for some touch-up paint. What kind of paint is used on ships of this sort? Hmm... Pretty sure it is not Dutch Boy Paints! ...
