This time lapse footage was made while I worked on a containership in North Europe going around the Baltic Sea. During the trip we went from Riga, Latvia to Tallinn, Estonia to Klaipeda, Lithuania, Gdynia, Poland, then to the other side of Europe through the Kiel Canal to Hamburg and Bremerhaven, Germany.

At the time the video was filmed, the MV Carat was managed by Crowley on a Hapag Lloyd charter.
Photography and editing by MV Carat 2nd Mate George Leonov.
