A sea lion stole a look above the water close to the shores of Long Beach, where the COSCO Xiamen - a container ship of China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co - was docked just a few meters away at the Southern California port in December.
The Xiamen with a capacity of 5,500 TEU (20-foot equivalent unit, the standard for container ships), carried about 3,000 containers. All were filled with merchandise from Northeast Asia with the largest volume coming from China.
