NSU VOYAGER

The Pride of Garden Paradise Kitakyushu should be the name of the bulk carrier NSU Voyager. This 300 meter long 50 meter wide vessel has 北九州 and KITAKYUSHU painted proudly on its stern. Very cool.

A politician wannabe idiot was creating a cacophony in Moji when the ship sailed thru the Kanmon Strait. Despite his campaign's incessant noise, NSU Voyager was the epitome of tranquility and smooth sailing. Oh, by the way, the idiot's campaign sailed smoothly into a landslide loss. Yay!  Here is some video of the ship (there will be some noise from the campaign --- consider it a bonus track!):


Vessel Name: NSU VOYAGER
Length: 299.95 meters
Width: 50 meters
IMO: 9790880
Flag: Japan
Port of Registry: Kitakyushu
MMSI: 431491000
Type: Bulk Carrier
Call Sign: 7JZQ
Gross Tonnage: 107829 tons
Year Built: 2017 (平成29年)
Owner: NS United Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd.
NS United Kaiun's group fleet boasts 216 vessels. Impressive. And NSU Voyager looks impressive. Its 50 meter beam makes it look huge, as it is considerably wider than the majority of cargo ships and passenger ships that pass by Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki. It's 300 meter length is nothing to balk at, either.

The ship is almost twice as long as the Phallic Tower of Shimonoseki is erect. NSU Voyager is 300 meters long and the PToS (real name: Kaikyo Yume Tower) is 153 meters tall. The can be seen side by side, horizontal and erect in the above photo.

Sickos are creatures of habit, so it is no surprise that Ship Freakazoid used a secondhand Olympus E520 DSLR camera with Zuiko 150mm lens for the photos and an antiquated used JVC Everio video camera with Konica Minolta 54x lens for the video.

At the time of typing this, it appears the ship is on or at Tsingtao China (which will be renamed West Taiwan after Taiwan annexes it). It still says TSINGTAO on the beer, but appears the CCP, in their quest to ruin the world, now call it Port of Qingdao (CN QDG). It is an impressive port and will become even better when Taiwan takes over(^_-)-☆

NYK FUTAGO container ship in Kanmon Straits at sunset

The Singapore flagged container ship NYK FUTAGO passed thru the Kanmon Straits of Japan on a lovely but hot (36C-97F) mid-September afternoon. The straits were calm.  The air was heavy. The sunset was lovely. NYK Futago was glorious.  NOTE:   NO filters used & ZERO editing done (Photoshop etc.)  Silhouette of container ship sailing at sunset - NYK FUTAGO This 267 meter long cargo ship was captured by Ship Freakazoid as it sailed through the Kanmon Strait between the Garden Paradise Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki at sunset on September 17, 2024.  As per usual, SF used his trusty secondhand Olympus E-520 DSLR camera equipped with a Zuiko 150mm lens to photograph this lovely vessel.  Settings in the above photo were:  f/11 , ISO 100 , 1/1600 sec.
