Ro-Ro Ships

Atlas Leader Comes to Baltimore December 18, 2018

At 199x32m (652.89×104.99) (BalticShipping.com) this ro-ro vehicles carrier is the same length but a little narrower than Taurus Leader which I had seen coming in September 15th. She is 5 years older having been built in 2010 at the same place at Shin Kurushima Onishi Shipyard in Imabari, Japan. She is owned by NYK Line. The video below is a favorite of mine because it has a lot of footage of the tugboat Brooklyn McAllister going out to meet this ship and then help her into Baltimore, Maryland. For best results watch in FULL SCREEN. You may need to watch for 20+ seconds before full resolution kicks in.


You can see a longer video that includes all 4 of the ships I saw this day here.
