7. The OHT Heavylift Falcon offshore from the Indonesian Island of Palau Karimunbesar in the Malacca Straits
T
he Straits of Malacca are strategically and economically one of the most
important shipping lanes in the world. This 621 mile channel is bordered
by Indonesia, Malaysia and the island nation of Singapore and it is the
shortest sea route between the three most globally populous countries of India,
China and Indonesia.
More than 50,000 commercial vessels annually transit this narrow stretch of
water and at certain parts of the voyage, ships of up to Malaccamax size are
sailing to within 10 miles of the Malaysian coastline.
Aerial Marine Media operate their helicopter camera ships offshore from
convenient airports in the two Malaysian cities of Kuala Lumpur and Johor
Bahru. Depending on the weather conditions and the exact position of the ship,
they can often rendezvous with a photo-target ship within 20-30 minutes from
take off.
The sailing time between Johor Bahru and Port Klang, the entrepôt for Kuala
Lumpur, can be anything from 12-15 hours and the company varies its
operation from airport to airport to locate the ship offshore during the normal
12 hour daylight period in the tropics.
For aerial photography on the east coast of Malaysia and the South China Sea
approach to Singapore, the helicopter photo team normally operate from Johor
Bahru because of the proximity to the shipping lanes. Photography in this
region is normally executed within 2 hrs sailing time north of the Horsburgh
Lighthouse which marks the boundary of both Changi Airport airspace and
Singapore territorial waters.
