The next Ultra Class Container Vessel is scheduled to arrive at the Port of Halifax this weekend. The CMA CGM Panama, with 15,072 TEU (twenty-foot unit) carrying capacity and 366 metres length overall, is due to arrive at PSA Halifax at approximately 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 20, 2020. This will be the first call at the Port of Halifax for the CMA CGM Panama, and follows the inaugural call of her sister vessel, the CMA CGM Brazil, on September 10, 2020. The Panama and Brazil are the largest containerized cargo vessels to call at a Canadian port.
People wanting to experience one of these giant vessels coming into this beautify port city can catch an excellent view from Point Pleasant Park. The CMA CGM Panama should be visible on the horizon around 4:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon, weather permitting.
