Atlantic Sail Comes to Baltimore November 12, 2018
This 296×37.6m (971.13×123.36ft) Container/Ro-Ro (or ConRo) ship was built in 2016 by Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding Group in China for Atlantic Container Line (ACL). She was the second of the G4 ships to be built, the others being the Atlantic Star (seen April 1st, 2019, Atlantic Sea, Atlantic Sky, and Atlantic Sun, the latter of which I saw come to Baltimore October 13, 2018. They can each carry 3,800 TEUs and 1,300 cars. ACL Cargo has provided a data sheet on this class of ship which can be seen here. Passenger service is available aboard this ship between the USA and Europe. Information on this can be viewed here.
In the video below pilot boat Vedette can be seen coming to deliver a pilot. Tugboat Brooklyn McAllister spends a lot of screentime helping this big ship to dock. This video is one of my longest single ship videos because I saw her turn towards the Port Dundalk Marine Terminal. For best results watch in FULL SCREEN. You may need to watch for 20+ seconds before full resolution kicks in.
I also saw the general cargo ship Spuigracht departing on this day. The photo below showing her under the cranes at Seagirt Marine Terminal is from March 11, 2019 and is therefore from a more recent visit.
