Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro container ship, IMO 9357963, port of Livorno

As usual, the 286-meter passing ship dwarfed the pilot boat.

    I can never get over the vast difference in size between these tugs and their client ships.

    That ship looks lightly loaded. Great photos with lots of red color.
