Merchant Fleet

The merchant ship The ship leaves Rotterdam sail to the med, and through the Suez channel into the red sea, the vessel arrives at an oil terminal and all you see is pipelines storage tanks and sand, then the ship goes back the same way. The sea in its different mood can be lovely to look at but after some time it gets boring. Or a containership jam-packed with boxes that load and unload I record time there is no time to go ashore and explore. After a year of this tedium, you go home and have seen nothing but oil tubes.
