EVER CHANT

is a five year old (built in 2020) container ship that has been known to visit ports like Kaohsiung in the country of Taiwan and Hong Kong in the future Taiwanese territory of China. This vessel from the Evergreen fleet of cargo ships passed through the Kanmon Straits of Japan on the cold and windy Japanese winter day of January 30, 2025.

Ship Freakazoid was taking photographs and recording video from the Garden Paradise Kitakyushu side of the Kanmon Strait when Ever Chant graced us with its presence. While only five years old, Ever Chant looks like it has seen a lot of wear and tear. Maybe it has alimony payments and an expensive trophy wife? Or, maybe the CCP owns it and doesn't know how to take care of it? But, probably, a reality TV show that shows ships before and after paint jobs is funding its voyages and maintenance. Surely that is what is happening here. It has to be. 

 

The video above is 4:12 in length and shows what Ever Chant looks like sailing thru Japanese waters on its way to West Taiwan (ex-China). Ship Freakazoid used a secondhand JVC Everio GZ-E265-N video camera mounted on Slik tripod for video (duh) and an Olympus E-520 DSLR digital camera held in his frigid hands for photos.

FATA MORGANA - Ship sailing in the sky near Kitakyushu Japan

Alright, so check this out!  FATA MORGANA is this wild optical illusion that happens when you're standing on land, looking out over the ocean, and you see a ship that looks like it's floating above the horizon. It's not magic, though—it’s science at work. Fata Morgana - Ship sailing in the sky as viewed from Kitakyushu  Here’s the lowdown. The air above the ocean is usually colder than the air higher up in the atmosphere. But sometimes, you get a temperature inversion where the air closer to the water is actually warmer than the air above it. This temperature difference makes light bend or "refract." So instead of light traveling in a straight line, it curves and can make things appear in places where they shouldn’t be. Kind of like when you’re staring into a glass of water and the spoon looks all weird. It’s the same principle. Fata Morgana - Cargo ship appears to be sailing in the sky Now, when you're on land looking out at the ocean, and you spot a ship tha...
