Recordist's notes
The Zeebrugge harbor is big and specialized in Roro boats (roll-on roll-off), transporting new cars. This kind of boat is very huge. This is a recording of the sluice. An alarm rings, the bridge rises. During this time, a gigantic boat is entering in the sluice. The boat is the Comet Ace coming from Panama (IMO 9182356). It's slow, noisy, and very typical of the harbours ambiances.
