This vessel sails under the Flag of Belize.  Never been, but hear Belize is all sorts of awesome.  Next time I'm in the neighborhood, it might be time to bop in and say "Hello" and/or "Hola" and buy some peanuts from Mennonite children.  Friends who have been say the beaches are really nice... Anyway, here is some video of Joyo 1 sailing between Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki.


This cargo ship has been known to frequent the ports of Kawasaki Japan, Sorong Indonesia, and Shanghai West Taiwan (when the CCP collapses Ship Freakazoid thinks China's name will be more accurately renamed West Taiwan).

Oh BUOY!!!  Looks like JOYO 1 could use a little TLC and touch up paint work.  Still a fine looking vessel.  Here is a photograph of it leading a random fleet of ships entering the Kanmon Straits from the west:
