SITC KAOHSIUNG container ship

For those who often see ships pass thru Japan's Kanmon Straits, the SITC Container Lines ships are a common sight. Sissies, sickos, ship spotters, hell, even pretend musicians who have walked along the strait are bound to have seen an SITC container carrier go by. Ship Freakazoid has seen his fair share of sissies, sickos, ship spotters, pretend musicians and SITC container ships. Here are some photographs and video of SITC Kaohsiung taken in October 2024.

SITC Kaohsiung about to pass Shimonoseki's notorious Phallic Tower

Japanese news agencies reported Vietnamese people residing in Garden Paradise Kitakyushu had imported marijuana, which is illegal in Japan. While it is highly doubtful the drugs were on this ship, one can't help but wonder if some degenerates are using containers to ship Japanese "kakuseizai" drugs to Vietnam and Vietnamese "taima" marijuana to Japan. Remember to contact the Japanese authorities if you spot suspicious vessels and happenings in Japanese waters. Call the Japan Coast Guard and NOT the police. Coast Guard know what they are doing!
