Maritime Transportation And Shipping Talk

The days when a ship got in port and stayed for a few weeks are long gone, we all know that. Time in port nowadays are reduced to hours and you would be lucky if there is a chance of getting ashore for some local shopping or simply have some R/R. If you are on a tanker than you can completely forget anything that has to do with shore leave. If your ship is going to the USA, a chance of you getting ashore doesn’t exist anymore. Security since 9-11 has eliminated any such thing as putting your foot on the dock or even going for a walk.
