The Oocl Thailand (F.K. Warren Ltd.) is depicted leaving port. One assumes that the huge vessels lumber into port and stay for a few days. The reality is quite different.
This ship arrived from New York just about 12 hours previous. Once it docks at Fairview Cove and gets clearance it is a mad scramble to get the ship loaded up and ready to head back to Europe. Southampton, UK is the next port of call. By the time it passes by 1-Aflpha the work in Halifax is complete for now. However, in only one and a half weeks another Oocl ship will make the exact same journey.
Well, perhaps the same journey. This time of year the schedules start to get a bit funny with the storm season.
