From a distance, this vessel might look like a tramp steamer of yesteryear , but it is the oil products tanker Chang Hang XI Wang, in Townsville , just one of the many interesting ships which pass in and out of the port with no media coverage. A point of interest is that it belongs to a huge Chinese logistics , shipping , transport and product moving conglomerate with 66,157 employees. The state owned SinoTrans & CSC became a fully owned subsidiary of the China Merchants Group in 2015.
