FAROE ISLAND EUROPA STAMP WITH RO-RO VESSEL

Post by aukepalmhof » Mon Nov 27, 2017 6:29 pm

The common motto for the Europe CEPT edition 1988 was transport and communication and the Faroe Islands two stamps one for telecommunication and the other transport, which shows us what looks like a ro-ro vessel with a deck-cargo of containers also fitted out with one crane behind the wheelhouse. She is not identified.

Each week Faroese freighters sail loaded with fish and fish products in cool storage or cool containers for distribution on the world market. A week later she are back in the Faroe Islands with all the necessary commodities, ranging from bananas to parcel houses. There are in 1988 four shipping companies in the Faroes running 11 freighters of various sizes. An average Faroe freighter has a total freight capacity of little less than 2,000 tons. All ships are well equipped, using highly sophisticated technology.

Collecting the stamps of the Faroe Islands can provide many years of learning and enjoyment, and a collection of all the stamps issued since 1975 can be easily completed, even for a collector with a very modest budget. I had an assignment to collect the historic information behind stamps of some of the countries when I was working for a online custom essay service.
