Container Ships

This 366.89×42.8m (1203.7×140.4ft) was built in 2008 by Odense Steel Shipyard which closed in 2012. She is owned by Maersk. I first saw her October 21, 2018 and at that time she was the largest container ship to arrive in Baltimore, Maryland. You can read about her arrival and also watch a video of it here. Since then several more Maersk ships of the same dimensions have come and gone.

In the video below she can be seen turning to depart Baltimore with the assistance of two tugboats. After passing under the Key bridge she can be seen passing the inbound Containter/Ro-Ro ship Atlantic Star. For best results watch in FULL SCREEN. You may need to watch for 20+ seconds before full resolution kicks in.

In addition to the Atlantic Star I also saw the general cargo ship Scheldegracht come to town on this day.
