OK... so that didn't work...

The ship is due to do a 'trans shipment' (I have to assume this is something to do with how they identify) in Malaysia on Saturday. Then it's full steam ahead to Dirtbin.

Trans-shipment means the ship is offloading in Malaysia to be loaded on another ship. Hope they are more efficient than our transnet

Yeah... <koff> I didn't really think it had anything to do with the ship's gender

Promise...

So, Port Klang, KL on Saturday. The ship is plodding along at a steady 11.3 knots.

Trans shipments are real shipments.

That they are! This obsession with the absolute and static definitions of the nature of vessels is driven by an archaic and far right maritime culture.

The ship is rounding the cape at the southern tip of Malaysia and will turn north to dock in Port Klang, KL tomorrow afternoon for a trans-shipment.
