Lisbon Trade Arrives in Baltimore December 17, 2018

This ship was born in 2009 under the name Medamur in Zhoushan, China by Zhejiang Ouhua Shipbuilding. It appears to be owned by HS Schiffahrt and managed by Liberty Blue based on info found on the website scheepvaartwest. Although she’s listed on that site as the Lisbon Trader and the name on the hull is Lisbon Trade, the IMO numbers match. She measures 179.44×28.25m (588.7×92.68ft) and is a general cargo ship. In the video below you can see the pilot boat approach the ship and then the pilot board the ship fairly early on. In the final scene you can see the tugboat Harriet Moran sneaking up on the ship. For best results watch in FULL SCREEN. You may need to watch for 20+ seconds before full resolution kicks in.

I also saw the Wallenius Wilhelmsen ro-ro ship Don Carlos on this day and you can watch her arrival in one of my most beautiful arrival videos so far here.
