This 277.3x40m (909.78×101.23ft) container ship was built in 2008 by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea according to Containership-Info.com. She is owned by MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) and has space for 5762 TEUs (20 foot containers) and can accommodate up to 632 reefer containers.
This is my second time seeing this ship. I first saw her on October 3, 2018 while watching for Fleet Week arrivals. Please click here to read about her arrival as well as watch the video.
In the video below you’ll see she arrived on a day of busy shipping activity. She passes an outbound bulk freighter and the Gerd Maersk and is followed in by the Wallenius Wilhelmsen vehicles carrier Boheme. The pilot boat Maryland can be seen approaching her. Next come the tugs. First Lynne Moran then Bridget Moran who gets the most screen time in this video. 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 vehicles carriers Boheme and Toscana on this day.
