This is a maritime blog, so its time to show you at least one ship photo.
I took this photo last sunday 15th April out at anchorage. I enjoy taking photograph of ships. Monsoon has been supplying some crew to this ship when she was the Rodolfo Mata. She is the world largest livestock carrier. I surf the net and quickly came up with some background information of this ship. Her name is DENEB PRIMA.
Can you imagine 120,000 sheeps onboard. Can you imagine the smells?
Siba bought the world’s largest livestock carrier, M/V Rodolfo Mata (TBR M/V Deneb), from Pan United. Originally a container vessel, it was converted into a livestock carrier by Pan United in 2002 and upgraded to make her fully compliant with latest Solas regulations, a requirement by AMSA (Australian Maritime Safety Authority) to be able to issue permits to load livestock in Australia beyond January 2007. The Deneb can carry a maximum load of 120,000 sheep or 25,000 cattle, or any combination of the two species.
