Spuigracht Leaves Baltimore, November 12, 2018

This general cargo ship, owned by Spliethoff, measures 173.18 x 25.30 m (568.18x83ft). She was built in 2001 by Stocznia Szczecinska Nowa. On this day the Spuigracht was departing with a very interesting load. On deck are seen several “rubber tyred gantry cranes” made by Kalmar.  They were destined for their new home in Port Elizabeth, New Jersey for their new owners, Maher Terminals. Enjoy the video below!

Watch also for the tug Jezebel pushing a crane barge in the last scene. You can see more of that tug & barge plus the other ship I saw that day in this video. You can read about a related ship, the Dynamogracht, here.
