Ever wondered what a 220 meter long 32 meter wide container ship coming right at you looks like? Well, here is the vessel named MSC LILOU III (MSC Lilou 3) doing just that. If I were you, I'd get the hell out of the way. Kitakyushu's lovely haze and factories can be seen in the background as the cargo ship makes her way thru the pristine blue waters of the Kanmon Straits.
