BillB48 Posted August 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Although this doesn't concern cruising it may be of interest to Canal watchers. The CMA CGM Zephyr (1200x167) became the largest ship to transit the Canal in terms of capacity. The Zephyr has a capacity of 16,285 TEUs (twenty foot equivalent units) which surpasses the record holder for the largest ship by dimension. The largest ship in terms of dimension is held by the Evergreen Triton (1210x167), but only carries 14,424 TEUs. The toll for the Zephyr was just north of $1.2 million.

In addition to being awe-inspiring it was also somewhat. frightening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
