A SUWA - Brand New Container Ship in the Kanmon Strait

The brand spanking new container ship A SUWA (Flag of Hong Kong) sailed thru the Kanmon Straits of Japan on a lovely Japanese autumn day (November 11, 2024) and was filmed with an antique JVC Everio video camera (Konica Minolta 54x lens) by a sissy sicko with no credentials known as Ship Freakazoid. More footage from ship spotting the vessels passing by Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki Japan can be seen on this YouTube channel:

A SUWA

It was nice to see such a new and colorful container ship pass by the glorious coastline of Garden Paradise Kitakyushu. The vessel A SUWA sails under the Flag of Hong Kong and was built in 2024 (also known as the year DJT won his 3rd str8 prez elexion ( ^)o(^ )).

General cargo ship, container ship and tanker in Kanmon Straits

The Kanmon Straits are always busy and provide a beautiful sight when several vessels can be seen entering the strait from the west side. The islands and Shimonoseki's coastline provide a nice backdrop. The pollution and haze wasn't so bad on this day (2024.11.11) and the ocean was quite blue. Kitakyushu is known affectionately as Garden Paradise Kitakyushu. But, looking at its sea, it becomes apparent Ringo Starr's song "Octopus's Garden" with the horrible band known as The Beatles, was written about Kitakyushu's lovely aquatic surroundings and the famous octopi known as Kanmon-dako (関門ダコ) that reside in it---rent free!
