A Ship Called
Maryland
Comes to Baltimore
A new meaning for the old expression
“ship of state” was recently realized when
a ship named
Maryland
called on the state
that is its namesake. The 138-meter-long
BBC
Maryland
, completed last year and
registered in Antigua and Barbuda, arrived
at the Port of Baltimore’s Canton Marine
Terminal in late July.
The BBC
Maryland
is believed to be
the first cargo vessel named after the
state. But a 32,600-ton battleship, the USS
Maryland
, was commissioned 90 years
ago. In 1940, the ship’s base was changed
from California to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
and the vessel survived the Japanese
bombing a year later with minor damages.

MSC
Sindy
Makes a Big
Entrance at Seagirt
Flying the flag of Panama, the huge
container vessel MSC
Sindy
recently made
her first trip to the Port of Baltimore. At
45.6 meters wide and 336.67 meters long,
the
Sindy
is one of the largest container
ships ever to stop at the Seagirt Marine
Terminal.
The
Sindy
arrived just a couple of
weeks after the similarly dimensioned
MSC
Bruxelles
ushered in a new era of
larger vessels calling on the Port. Both
ships can carry approximately 9,178 TEUs.
