Pieter Stroop van Renen, a former city poet from Gouda, traveled from Rotterdam to Dublin aboard the cargo ship Elbcarrier, documenting his unique experience on Instagram. He booked an owner's cabin that was available because the ship's owner did not travel, becoming the sole passenger during the voyage. Stroop van Renen shared insights into life at sea, including limited connectivity, navigation observations, and the reality of cargo schedules, noting that many people are unaware that civilian passengers can book space on freighters.
