Istanbul - Trieste
 | Istanbul - Trieste
After convincing the sales director of UN-RORO shipping line I was able to go on board of UN-Pendik a 4 storey RORO vessel for semi-trailers heading for Europe. |
 | Our Ural Ranger is boarding UN Pendik after a 2 days struggle with Turkish customs. But it was not the fault of the officers in Pendik - real nice guys and supporting officials. |
 | UN RORO is covering Turkey - Trieste with 11 very fast and modern vessels on a daily basis. RORO services for full truck rigs and semi trailers. |
 | First feeding on board!! |
 | My spacious cabin! |
 | View from the bridge! Northbound to Trieste. |
 | Officer Gül is operating the vessel alone for 4 hours during her shift. One face of modern Turkey. A young woman in command of a huge vessel. |
 | Sunrise over Croatia´s coast line. |
 | Entering the habour of Trieste which requires a pilot on board. |
 | I am sure the crew is not in need of the pilot to dock in Trieste - ;-) |
