View Of Port Klang From The Sea(Part Nine)Up to now, we have just shown you view from the boat as we traveled. This are what we can see from the boat of the coastline. The next two or three posts are different. They are taken from the top of the second tallest building in West Port and showed you an aerial view of some of the places we covered in our journey. Enjoy.

Remember after the liquid bulk terminal, we took a detour and moved into a channel that cut into the land forming a pool of water surrounded by trees, and from where we could view FFM? Well, this picture shows the water from which we took the picture in the last post.

A closer look. In the background are the companies involved in oleochemical (I believe) and other industrial liquids.

This is the closest my zoom will allow me. A world of its own amidst all the hustle and bustle. Nice, isn’t it?

This is the end of the bulk liquid jetty.

A ship was docking at the jetty to load up. A container ship passed by the jetty heading towards North Port. South Port today only handles conventional cargoes and mainly used for break bulk, coastal vessels and vessels from neighboring countries especially Indonesia.

My camera followed the movement of the ship as it moved towards port.

It has by now almost reached the end of the huge island opposite Pulau Indah. That is Pulau Klang, it is even larger than Pulau Indah and separates Pulau Ketam from the mainland. See the gantries and huge cranes in the background. That is North Port which is mainly a container port. I am sure you will remember the haze we had been having the past weeks which was fortunately cleared by these few days of heavy rain. The reason the picture is so hazy is because of, of course the haze.

This picture has a few details that I wanted to point out. The tanks as you know by now are the bulk liquid tanks. The tall arm at the extreme left is the cement terminal and the concrete silos at the extreme right are the cement silos. The way they appeared on the picture may be misleading but it should be this order where I was standing liquid bulk terminal, cement terminal and silos and beyond that the Cruise Ship terminal.
