Vale Brazil on first revenue run.

[Mats]

It seems "Vale China", the first Chinese built VLOC for Vale, will have a different design than the Korean-built "Vale Brasil".

As the following picture shows, the Chinese one will have a rounder bow and different superstructure.

The superstructure looks a bit like Berge Everest's (the inner and outer wing pillars are reversed - Berges outer wing pillars angle in, while Vale's inner pillars angle in and the outer is straight), the bow is plain ugly on these Vale VLOC's, I'm glad Berge stepped up as well with their more eye pleasing design.
