Someone has put a lot of effort on the side containers, all CMA's.
captain onboard is from Rijeka :)
When there is a chance of publicity photos the stowage is always planned this way (where possible) irrespective of whether it is the most economical way for the vessel to perform (both with regards to draft as well as loading/discharging performance and additional terminal movements) – can be quite a costly affair to do so not done too often.
hope i can onboard like dat vessel how cool.
