Berge Stahl (biggest bulker in the world) by Chris Rombouts

These pictures show the biggest bulker in the world, the Berge Stahl, entering the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands last year. This was the first time ever that she entered the New waterway and also the biggest ship ever to navigate this river. The reason was that she had to go into drydock. Therefor she is also riding extreemly high out of the water. Normally when she comes in to unload her cargo she stay's in the deep part of the new harbour far from downtown Rotterdam.
