FREO TODAY

Freo Today. 14 October 2026. You’ve just gotta luv these RO-ROs. Especially the smart livery on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen line RO-ROs, like the Tonsberg in Port just now at Berth 12, North Quay. As you can see, her homeport is Valletta and she sails under the flag of Malta. In from Melbourne, next stop Singapore. Imposing! Super snap by Jen Hudson.
