This video from 2014 shows the ship being loaded at an unnamed location. Check out this 2015 video by friend of Baltimore Shipspotting binmei.jp. This 2017 video shows her in the Port of Rotterdam.

In my 8 minute video below she can be seen turning from the Chesapeake Bay onto the Patapsco River as she makes her way to Baltimore, Maryland. After she turns a pilot can be seen climbing the ladder from pilot boat Baltimore. After she passes under the Key Bridge the tug Gramma Lee T Moran can be seen alongside. Tug Lynne Moran follows.
