Seldom have I seen such amazing photographs as these. A container ship at 25 knots slices through the midships of a bulk carrier, both were in an end-on situation, clear visibility, classic case of faster vessel altering to port in a TSS, while the slower bulker alters to starboard.

Worth the visit, if only for the photos.
Articles published elsewhere as well as for the blog by me, an ex-seafarer now back to sea, for all in shipping, mainly dedicated to the Merchant Navy. Do write. Identity protection assured. The author was an Indian seafarer, and now going back to sea after a gap of almost 25 years, to write better on the subject. MLC 2010 will not improve things unless you, the seafarer, are heard.
