The cruise ship 'Norwegian Encore' (169,116GRT) dwarfs the car carrier 'Grande Torino' (65,255GRT) in Southamptons Western Docks. Despite the current economic crisis the docks are the busiest I have seen them in a long time thanks to COVID-19. Taken today using a Leica M240 and 35mm Summarit-M f2.5. Exposure was 1/1000 at f13: 400iso Gerry

This fireboat is celebrating the arrival of a new cruise liner on her maiden voyage in my home town of Southampton. The image is from my archive when I was shooting film. Taken on Fuji RDP using a Leica R8 but I am afraid I have no other details recorded. It was recently selected by LFI to include in their galleries. Sadly the cruise terminals are empty now because of COVID-19, but the future looks promising. The container ships are as busy as ever (and we see the very biggest) and a major new cruise terminal is being constructed. Gerry

The major cruise liners may have deserted Southampton because of COVID-19, but we still get daily visits by some of the biggest ships in the world such as the 210,691 tonnes 'MOL Treasure' which at 400m long dominate the skyline. Leica M240 + 90mm Summarit-M f2.5 - 50% crop Gerry

this summer we spent 2 days in Hamburg and had a very interesting tour through the harbour. The cranes can lift up to 18.000 containers unloading and loading big cargo ships. Each of them costs about 8 million €. There is only one place in the world where this type can be manufactured: Hong Kong. This time my Olympus EM5 with Summilux 15 mm served as my back-up camera, so I can only show these here.
