Remarkable time-lapse video of a container ship approaching port and being unloaded/loaded

4K Timelapse of The Container Ship Gunhilde Maersk at sea from Ho-Chi Minh, Vitenam to Ningbo, China and the incredible loading sequences at each port.

Similar to this video I put up a couple years ago;

the 60's the ships were unloaded with chrains one by each. One car at a time One pallet of grain at a time one small container at a time. It would take a week to unload depending on the size of the ship. It was great for the crew b/c they would have time to get off and see the countryside. He loved the life. Me? meh... not so much. I must admit he had some fantastic stories about his travels... And what they said about sailors? all true...
