Csaba I think the platform is used by the passengers, as a good balcony overlooking the sea, apart from a jetty for shuttles when anchoring. The truth is that this structure stands out, protruding from the side of the ship and also with a striking color.

Muchas gracias amigo ventuari. I already imagined some of that, it has also happened to me when I have visited some sites with friends of internet shipspotters. My wife is not very cooperative with our hobby either, in the sense that she gets very impatient when I say to take pictures of ships, when we are on a voyage. It would be my pleasure to share with you, if we ever meet.
All the best for you and your family, your friend manuel.

I like the dark blue and white colors, makes it look elegant but that orange platform is a bit of an eyesore. But it could be fun to be on it :-)

Hi Manuel. Nice shot with a lot of details. Really good quality shot at Original size my friend. In relation to your comments on my AZAMANTA shot, almost 40 years from my last time at Valencia Port. Everything has changed, in size and locations, with new areas, docks, marinas, and so on. And almost nothing left from the old areas that I spotted in my old shots 40 years ago. A huge port now. Hard and not friendly for shipspotters. The trip to Valencia was a last minute trip with a exchage of places to go with my wife...as usual.... So few hours at Valencia Port and a...lot of time at Ciudad de las Artes, and so on....you know what I mean. Next time I will let you know in advance, so we can arrange something.
Congratulations for your nice shot.
MBregards.
