The China Ocean Shipping Group (COSCO) container freighter on way to Europe met with rough seas when crossing the Strait of Malacca, a major passageway of the Maritime Silk Road.
The freighter, "Netherlands" loaded and unloaded about 2,000 containers in the Port of Singapore, and set off from the port on Sunday night and was hit by the rough seas with thunders and lightening when entering the Strait of Malacca.
The freighter passed and stopped at the ports of Tianjin, Dalian, Qingdao, Shanghai and Ningbo to reach the port of Singapore and will sail through the Indian Ocean and the Suez Canal to reach Pireaus Port of Greece, Rotterdam of the Netherlands, Hamburg of Germany and Antwerp before returning to Shanghai and Tianjin, traveling 23,000 nautical miles.
The Strait of Malacca is a long strait about over 1,000 kilometers long, and it has a greater gap of the entire width, with the 370 kilometers at the widest and 30 kilometers at the narrowest part. The sailors have to focus on controlling the freighter to keep it balanced.
It was learned that it will need one and a half days to pass through the Strait of Malacca, and the "Netherlands" will sail about 8 or 9 days on the Indian Ocean before passing through the Suez Canal on May 3 and May 4.
The voyage portrays the country's thriving 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which has not only promoted trade between China and Europe but also boosted economic growth in the countries along the routes over the past few years.
