Stadiongracht Comes to Baltimore March 13, 2019

This general cargo ship measures 173.18 x 25.30m (568.18x83ft) and is owned by spliethoff. This is one of their S-Type ships and they have provided a data sheet on her here. As of this writing this is the third of four ships I have seen around Baltimore, Maryland. The others are Dynamogracht (September 11, 2018), Spuigracht (November 12, 2018), and Sluisgracht (March 15, 2019). According to BalticShipping.com she was built in 2000 by Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa Sp. z o.o. in Szczecin, Poland which, according to their website, went bankrupt in 2011. This ship made the news when she ran aground off Rauma, Finland on the night of December 29, 2010.
In the video below she is carrying rubber tire gantry cranes like the Spuigracht was carrying. Watch for the pusher tug Jezebel as well as the 3 pilots boarding from the pilot boat Maryland . For best results watch in FULL SCREEN. You may need to watch for 20+ seconds before full resolution kicks in.

I also saw the vehicles carrier Glovis Supreme this day.
