Once we had crossed the Straits of SIngapore and settled into a rhythm outside the Singapore Port Limit line, we could enjoy the chums we passed, those overtook us, came the other way and then through the anchored girls until we turned up the river toward Johor and Puteri Marina. Sadly, too many to mention them all so here are a selected few.... and I had to have a few working girls at the end........ of course you did, too important to miss out.

Simple put, chum spotter heaven. 
 
 
CSCL_Globe_arriving_at_Felixstowe,_United_Kingdom
 
A note for the current biggest chum. CSCL Globe (currently in the Med en route to Egypt) is a container ship owned and operated by China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL). The first of a class of five ships intended for Asia-Europe trade routes, she was the largest container ship in the world at the time of her launch in November 2014, with a maximum capacity of 19,100 twenty-foot containers. Her length 400 metres, width 59 metres, draught 16 metres, maximum speed 22 knots, average speed 20.5 knots, deadweight tonnage 184,605, built 2014, flag Hong Kong. To all purists, do you really think we would have right of way under sail – even IF she could see us ??? They would be barmy to try.

CSCL Globe took ‘the biggest’ crown from McKinney Moller, a Triple E Class chum.
 
The name "Triple E" is derived from the class's three design principles: "Economy of scale, Energy efficient and Environmentally improved". These ships are expected to be not only the world's longest ships in service, but also the most efficient container ships per twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) of cargo. 
Fun statistics: Triple E class chums contain as much steel as eight Eiffel Towers. If those containers were placed in Times Square in New York, they would rise above billboards, streetlights and some buildings. Or, to put it another way, they would fill more than 30 trains, each a mile long and stacked two containers high.

Inside those containers, you could fit 36,000 cars or 863 million tins of baked beans.
