Boheme Comes to Baltimore March 26, 2019
This 227.9×32.26m (747.7×105.84ft) PCTC (Pure Car Truck Carrier) was built in 1999 by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering in Korea. She was elongated in 2005 by 28 meters (91.86ft). The operator of this ship, Wallenius Wilhemlsen, has provided a handy data sheet on this ship which indicates it is owned by Singapore based SSC Pisces Pte Ltd. She can carry 7,200 cars or a combination of 3,700 cars and 600 trucks. A similarly named cruise ship, La Boheme, cruises the Rhine River.
In the video below you can see the pilot boat Maryland next to her, then being passed by the outbound Wallenius Wilhelmsen vehicles carrier Toscana, then passed by the Big Stone Pride, then greeted by tugs Rowan M. McAllister and Timothy McAllister. Briefly in the last scene the MSC Oriane can be seen heading to dock. For best results watch in FULL SCREEN. You may need to watch for 20+ seconds before full resolution kicks in.
I first saw this ship come to Baltimore, Maryland on August 25 which you can see in this unsteady video.
