This 275x40m (902x131ft) container ship was built in 2005 by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries according to BalticShipping. She is owned by Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and can carry 5919 TEUs and 400 reefer TEUs.

In the video below she can be seen arriving amidst local pleasure boat traffic. NYK Line roro ship Rhea Leader can be seen following and passing the outbound tug/barge combination of Linda Moran and Houston. The tugboat Lynne Moran can be seen awaiting her arrival. In the last scene the April Moran can be seen coming alongside. The Lynne Moran can be seen peeking out from the other side at the rear. The light colored containers at the rear of the ship are “reefers” or refrigerated containers. I am not sure which of Baltimore’s pilot boats is seen in this video.

NYK Line roro ship Rhea Leader, roro ship Cattleya Ace, and cable layer Durable all followed this ship into town while I was watching.
