This 189x32m (620x105ft) Malta flagged bulk freighter was built in 2010 by Oshima Shipbuilding Co. in Saikai, Japan and owned by Athens, Greece based Eastern Mediterranean Maritime according to BalticShipping.

1185-1 Bulker Sozon and roro Talisman

Her owners have this interesting data sheet on her.

1224-1 Bulker Sozon and pilot boat Baltimore

I have found no news nor other video of her even under her old name, Sanko Marble.

1246-1 Bulker Sozon

In my 6 minute below she can be seen passing the outbound roro Talisman as she travels the Patapsco River towards Baltimore, Maryland. Pilot boat Baltimore comes alongside. A pilot can be seen climbing the ladder in the next scene. After passing under the Key Bridge the pilot boat peels away and the ship continues on towards Baltimore.
