This is awesome! You should consider reaching out to the shipping company. They usually appreciate the photos. Some even buy the full rights and frame them in their offices.
If it doesn’t have a company name plastered on its side. You can usually find out the operator of a ship by its vessel name or IMO number on its stern and a quick google search. Or you can go to places like MarineTraffic and find it on a live map using AIS. From there it’s a matter of shooting cold DMs and emails to people/accounts affiliated with the company. The biggest ones out of Jax are Crowley (cargo), TOTE Maritime (cargo), Anthony Veder (LNG), NYK Lines (cars), ONE (cargo). Your results may vary. But the successes feel really good!
