Passing a large LNG carrier in the Mozambique Channel

Entering the Mozambique Channel, we passed this large Liquid Natural Gas Carrier. It was a thundery morning with not so good visibility and this ship appeared right ahead on collision course. It seemed not to have seen me and I had to slightly alter course to pass at a reasonable distance. Impressive from a small sailing boat! I called the officer of the watch on VHF. She was bound for the Red Sea with no specific destination port.
