Ships in the Sea off the Straits of Malacca

In this post I want to share some photos that I took yesterday afternoon. Recently at sunset my friends and I went to the city of Lhokseumawe.

This excursion we need to investigate one of the slopes in the city of Lhokseumawe. This slope is a Japanese cave tourism destination.

It is one of the slopes that has a famous cave left by the Japanese colonialists. According to the data, on this slope they made a cave as a place to hide and observe/observe the Indian Ocean in the Malacca Strait.

Since the slopes in this space are at such a high altitude, it seems that this area was a decision of the Japanese to make the caves and as a place for a post. This sloping area is located in Blang Panyang, Lhokseumawe City.

This slope is on the left half of the Medan-Banda public route. When entering the road leading to the slope, you can also find the graves of local legends outside and when driving up the slope.

But here I am more focused on sharing photos of sea views at one of the ports in the city of Lhokseumawe. This magnificent photo was taken from the highest point of a slope that has a height of up to 200 meters.

On this slope I can see the vast landscape of nature and ocean, the stretching Malacca Waterway. In the afternoon, the combination of fog and sky shadows is also very beautiful. In the east, the shadows are cloudy and in the west, the shadows of the fog are surprisingly bright.

From this slope we can see public roads, city dwellers, and areas of green trees. Meanwhile, from the ocean we can see the modern area and the port.

This is one of the few harbors in the modern area of Lhokseumawe. Working with sea transport in the exchange of the oil and gas industry is the port.

We can see gas and oil tanks on the right and left of the port. This port can accommodate large and laden ships, it turns out that this port area is indeed very deep.

Around that time I was fortunate to see a large tanker of gas and oil moored in the harbour. However, not long after the supplies were piled into tanks, they moved out to sea in Malacca Waters.

Gas and oil that penetrate the high seas are stored in the production line area and transported by transport for handling. The boat carrying gas and oil tanks looks very big and full of cargo.

Here are some photos I took, hope you appreciate them.

I am very happy to be able to share this article with you, I hope you like my weekend story. I appreciate your support and empathy for my posts ♥️
