Who doesn't love a Minion? The crew of BW LPG's 82,000-cbm BW Prince (built 2007) certainly do.

A photograph taken by the vessel's captain, Martin Gagelonia, won second prize in the company's recent photography competition.

It shows happy crew posing in front of three tanks customised to resemble the little yellow rascals from the Despicable Me films.

Why not go a stage further and incorporate Minion chic into seafarer uniforms, ditching the Guantanamo orange?

Everyone thinks they know what the oldest profession in the world is.

But, maybe it is shipbuilding after all.
