Description
(the humanized ships here all have relation with Taiwan, but aren't all operated by Taiwan companies)
(you can see the names of each ship more clearly in the picture I placed in the comment)

Simplified info of each ship:
Green Jade (sitting on the wind turbine) - A large floating crane vessel recently working for the construction of the offshore wind farm.

Autrulis (held by Green Jade) - A drilling vessel who used to be OMS Resolution and then be re-designed in Taiwan. She has salvaged some sunk military aircrafts, is now participating the construction of the offshore wind farm too.

Resort World One (sitting under the wind turbine) - A Hong Kong cruise ship had been travelling between Hong Kong and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, from this April to September 21.

Costa Serena (with bright blue eyes) - One of the sister ship of Costa Concordia. She visited Keelung, Taiwan, every few day until September 25.

Yun Hsing (sitting on Costa Serena's shoulders) - A supply vessel working with light keepers on outlying islands. She has retired in Keelung on December 29, 2022, and is waiting to be taken to her new home in a university in Kaohsiung.

Yomogi (floating above Yun Hsing) - A Japanese warship sunk in WW2 and enshrined in a temple in Kaohsiung as a "ship goddess" because her dead captain (who is enshrined in the same place) asked people to build a model of his ship in people's dream. (yeah... sometimes Taiwanese can't understand our own folk religion either, but I think this is interesting)

Penghu (sitting next to Costa Serena) - A young ferry travelling between Penghu county (outlying islands) and Kaohsiung, who just enters the service. She's Tai Hwa's heir.

Tai Hwa (sitting on the left side of Penghu) - An old ferry who had been travelling between Penghu county and Kaohsiung and just retired this August. Let's say she's Penghu people's ship mommy.

Taima (sitting on the left side of Tai Hwa) - An old ferry who had been travelling between Keelung and Matsu and just retired this April. Let's say she's Matsu people's ship mommy.

New Taima (lying on Taima) - A young ferry travelling between Keelung and Matsu, who just enters the service. She's Taima's heir.

Ambrosia (dabbing behind New Taima) - A beautiful giant yacht who has been mooring in Kaohsiung Port so long that people can see her on Google Map and the government's tourism poster.

Chi Fu no.2 (fishing next to Ambrosia) - An electric ferry travelling inside Kaohsiung Port with Snoopy doodle on her hull.

Nicholas (floating on the water and being fished) - A fictional junk boat debuting in my comic. She was Koxinga's warship and was nearly 400 years old. She named herself "Nicholas" (namesake of Koxinga's father) and was trying hard to understand modern world after waking up from a sleep lasting for maybe one or two centuries.

Imperial Palace at Sea & Royal Chef at Sea (holding hands together and floating) - They were like Jumbo Kingdom but Kaohsiung version. They were operated less than a year and then laid up in the next 21 years, before being scrapped.
