Xue Long back in Port

Xue Long, a Chinese icebreaker, is back in Freo and currently at D berth.

She’s in from Nansha, China.

You can’t miss her. She has a giant golf-ball structure on her deck. It’s a Radome that houses radar and satellite equipment.

Her last visit to Fremantle was in March, which we covered in our Breaking The Ice article. You’ll find all sorts of interesting facts and stats about her there.

And if you’re wondering exactly where Nansha is, look at this image supplied by the Port of Nansha!
