A salute to those individuals who travel the world delivering the goods we all use everyday.  Congrats go out to many Kings Pointers and state maritime school graduates who take to the task everyday!!!  Take a five minute break from the rigors of collecting and stacking those coins… 

This time lapse footage was made by George Leonov while working on a containership the MV Carat going around the Baltic Sea and North Europe. Over 15,000 photos were used to put this video together, all summed up in five minutes.  Access provided by gCaptain who shares access to the world of Maritime shipping and transportation.

This shows a very fast paced environment, sometimes as little as eight hours sailing between ports and many berth shifts while loading and unloading cargo.

Note the precise ship handling while maneuvering the ship and without any assistance of the tug boats. Enjoy!
