Among those training their lens at the cargo ship which sails under the Singapore flag was Luke Martin, from Bradwell.

He said ships were his passion, adding: "It's interesting finding out where they have travelled from and what they are doing here."
The ship arrived on July 6 from Dunkirk in France where she had been for three days.
