Our S(h)ipping Reporter, the only one north of Garden Island , scoops local media yet again .
Chinese writing visible along its side , a large cargo ship with a stack of what could be mistaken for massive huge pipes for the mooted Snowy 2.0 hydro electric expansion , demands attention . But not of the local sleeping , don't go near the water media . It is the Hong Kong flagged Huanghai Advance ,166.37metres long by 27.74metres wide .
Our roundsman, unfortunately not armed with his camera at the time , was informed eight giant wind turbines are being unloaded from the vessel. This is surely a major event , a major story for Townsville , if any news organisation wakes up. Where are they destined for , what will be involved in transporting the huge components along the highways and back roads, are more coming , does the vessel have a history of shipping wind turbines to other parts of the world? The arrival of the vessel increases interest in all the other renewable energy projects going on in the north .
Another bulk cargo ship in port , with a catchy name , Interlink Dignity , flagged in the Marshall Islands, could be of interest to a cub reporter ; the flag of the Pacific nation adopted when flown on self government day May 1,1979, designed by Emlain Kabua , First Lady of the Republic .

While checking out the seafront nightclub precinct , our maritime scribe noticed that the Taj Mahal is under new management, surely of importance for the subcontinent , and there is a sandwich board advertising a medium who operates in a dark room who can communicate with reporters in deceased newsrooms and pass on news tips . Spooky.
