Scheldegracht Comes to Baltimore April 1, 2019

This 172x25m (564.3×82.02ft) general cargo ship was built in was built in 2000 by
Stocznia Szczecinska Nowa SP Z OO in Szczecin, Poland (bankrupt as of 2011).
She is owned by spliethoff and is one of their S-Type ships. You can view a data sheet on her here. She is the fifth spliethoff ship I have seen to date, a listing of the others is included on the blog posting for the fourth, the Sluisgracht. A 2018 article from The Telegram has a slideshow with her being loaded with rolls of newsprint. The Telegram’s website doesn’t mention the location in the article or their service area on their front page so I am not immediately able to tell where this took place. Perhaps they’re ashamed.

In the below video she can be seen passing the outbound general cargo ship BBC Greenland. The Big Stone Pride makes the first of two appearances then the pilot boat Maryland comes alongside. For best results watch in FULL SCREEN. You may need to watch for 20+ seconds before full resolution kicks in.

Also seen on this day were container ship Gunde Maersk and Container/Ro-Ro ship Atlantic Star.
