Tugela Comes to Baltimore May 26, 2019
This 229x32m (751x105ft) roro vehicles carrier was built in 2011 by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea according to BalticShipping.com. She is owned by Wallenius Wilhelmsen and is one of their LCTC (Large Car and Truck Carrier) ships and can carry up to 7,934 cars. These ships are longer than their PCTC (Pure Car and Truck Carriers) which are up to 200m (656ft) in length and they also have a higher ramp and deck capacity.
In the video below you can see her being chased into Baltimore, Maryland by the cruise ship Carnival Pride. The pilot boat Vedette arrives to deliver a pilot as well. In the final scenes she is turned towards Dundalk Marine Terminal and her hull is better lit on the sun but on both sides it can be seen she is due for time in the paint shop.
The Carnival Pride arrived just behind this ship.
