Port of Baltimore Welcomes Largest Containership Ever to Call Maryland

Port of Baltimore Welcomes Largest Containership Ever to Call Maryland
Written by Nick Blenkey, Senior Editorial Consultant and Web Editor, Marine Log
With the arrival Saturday of the 15,432 TEU Evergreen Ever Max at its Seagirt Marine Terminal, the Port of Baltimore has welcomed the largest containership ever to call Maryland.
Previously, the largest containership to visit the Port of Baltimore was another Evergreen vessel, the Triton, which first visited in 2019 and has a capacity of 14,424-TEU containers.(The Ever Forward, which grounded in the Chesapeake Bay after leaving Baltimore back in March last year, has a capacity of 12,118 TEU).
The Ever Max arrived in Baltimore after successfully making its inaugural transit through the Panama Canal’s neopanamax locks on August 1. Current weather and draft conditions at the Panama Canal meant that, to effect the transit, the ship had to leave part of its cargo at the Port of Balboa and and reload it at the Colon Container Terminal, on the other side of the locks, after it has been transported by road.
