SAITA I - Bulk Carrier

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Contributor Uracowley created this drone video of a bulk carrier ship heading down the Columbia River in Oregon, in the USA's Pacific Northwest.  Launched in 2014, the Cyprus-flagged carrier SAITA-1 has a length of just under 230 meters (about 750 ft.) and gross tonnage of 43,000 tons.  Bulk carriers are critical to the transport of all sorts of commodities, ranging from iron ore to timber to coal.  They generally travel considerably slower than containerships due to the (relatively) low value of their cargoes.
