Early next year, a tanker vessel owned by Maersk, the
Danish transportation conglomerate, and a passenger
ship owned by Viking
Line will be outfitted with spinning cylinders on their decks.
The station was part of the Paknam
Line, a Belgian -
Danish joint venture, which operated Thailand's first railway from 1893 — 1959 linking Bangkok to the mouth of the Chao Phraya River (pak nam) where the
ships were anchored.
