215 meters long, 38000 Square meters. Those are the dimensions of the biggest Cattle Vessel in the world. It was here at the Port today to load another shipment of cows from the Northern Territory. Destination? The Middle East. When I was working in Dubai I used to see them coming full of sheep from New Zealand just before the Ramadan and cows from Australia all year long. Now I see them at the point of origin. I am just a bit more compassionate for the poor beasts and also wondering what the methane carbon footprint surrounding this vessel is.
