Panafrican Arrives in Baltimore June 4, 2019

This 229x32m (751x105ft) bulk freighter was built in 2008 by Sanoyas Mizushima Works & Shipyard in Kurashiki, Japan. She is owned by Magna Marine, Inc. who has provided a very interesting and detailed data sheet on this ship – very unusual for a bulk freighter company to do something like this. She is one of this company’s eight ships – click here to see them all. Although out of sight of the video (and photos) she went to Consol Energy’s CNX Marine Terminal to pick up a load of coal for Brazil.

In the video below she can be seen following the cruise ship American Star into Baltimore, Maryland. In the closer scenes her rudder can be seen because she is riding so high out of the water due to being empty. In the Key Bridge scene the roro ship MSC Cristiana can be seen heading outbound. In the next scene the tugboat Lynne Moran can be seen lending a hand. Local pleasure boat traffic can also be seen throughout the video.

In addition to the cruise ship and roro ships seen in the above video I also saw another bulk freighter, the Mykonos Bay, arrive later.
