The Time was exactly 18 minutes after midnight, Friday, when the mooring rope was fastened to the bollard at berth eleven of the Tema Port.Flying a Panamanian flag, the 199 metre-long vessel with the inscription STX CHANGXING ROSE opened the back ramp down to enable the vehicles to roll out and in.The sparkling red painted huge vessel literally offloaded 458 assorted items which included cars, buses, trucks, tipper trucks and construction equipments.The Chronicle on Saturday’s investigations at the Tema Port revealed that the vessel arrived at the anchorage on Thursday at about 11: 15 hours.The local agent is Hull Blyth with Captain Choe Chargbik as the master in-charge.Further enquiries disclosed its International Maritime Organisation (IMO) registration number as 9419747 and it is owned by Eukor Shipping of Korea.The vessel, we are reliably informed, left Lagos Port to Ghana and has Duala Port in Cameroon as its next port of call. She was expected to depart from the Tema Port Friday at 1400 hours.What is not clear is whether the consignment of assorted items is meant for the yet to be signed STX deal.Theories being propounded in the port community are that some of these vessels are chattered to deliver items and that after all, the equipment made up of buses, cars, trucks and tipper trucks may not truly belong to the STX Project.Source: Chronicle/Ghana
