Ships of Kanmon Strait

SITC QINZHOU - Another SITC container ship named after an East Asian City SITC Japan Co., LTD. has close to 100 vessels in its fleet and SITC QINZHOU is yet another SITC container ship named after an East Asian City. Their container ships passing thru the Kanmon Straits are a common sight for both Kitakyushites and Shimonosuckers alike, as the straits run between the cities of Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki. SITC QINZHOU Qinzhou is a prefecture-level city lying on the Gulf of Tonkin in S.E. China, and therefore the perfect name for a container ship. The 3.3 million people who live there must be receiving some interesting merchandise from Japan carried by this vessel, perhaps DVDs of Japanese celebrities eating food while other Japanese celebrities watch and comment on the food being eaten, or maybe even secondhand Nissan Skylines. Conversely, the people of Japan must be receiving some pretty dope stuff from China, too, seeing as how trade is generally a two-way street. Name:    ...

SITC's container ships are a common site in the Kanmon Straits of Japan. However, seeing the SITC TOKYO being safely navigated by a bird is a first. The vessel safely passed thru the strait running between Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki and was photographed by Ship Freakazoid as it followed the flight of the shite kite (real names: Japanese: tobi or tombi / English: black kite) on its journey. This cargo ship frequently runs between Shanghai China and Osaka Japan, but surely the highlight of the voyage is the wonderful time spent sailing thru the glorious Kanmon Straits. SITC TOKYO - Container Ship sailing thru Kanmon Straits   SITC has a large fleet of container ships, most named after places in Japan or China. Ship Freakazoid will make a point of putting up more photos of SITC vessels as they pass thru the heavenly waters of the Kanmon Strait.
