The Great Australian Bight is to the south of Australia. Between the Coast and Antartica, there is no land, and the swell here is direct from the Southern Ocean.

Hope you enjoyed your visit!

Yes, in the video we had swells acting on us that came from both the southern ocean and from a low preasure zone that we had just passed. Hense the fast rolling. Strange as it may seem I did enjoy the Aus Bite and the heavy seas that can be found there.

Ah ok. I could tell coz its 2.500 teu ship with 3 cargo cranes. I've work on that ship before. I am a Filipino Chief mate.

I sailed in March this year as a passenger.

I travelled Sydney to Sydney around Australia and up to Port Klang and Singapore.

I very much enjoyed my time on board. The ship is now on charter Hong Kong to South America.

Nice video! Spent some time on the Baltrum Trader back in 2003 (Singapore->Sydney) Brings back memories!

Only way I'd ever go on one of these would be if a helicopter was hovering overhead at all times. All that weight, all that water and I can't swim! NO WAY!
