CMA CGM Amazon.
On the morning of the 13 May 2016 I was onboard the Red Funnel car and passenger ferry Red Eagle on the outbound crossing from Southampton to East Cowes Isle of Wight. About 20 minutes into the journey I had the good fortune to see and photograph for the first and only time the Containership CMA CGM Amazon.
The 96424 Gross Ton CMA CGM Amazon was built in Romania in 2015 and when I saw her was Registered in Liberia with the Home Port of Monrovia. She is designed to transport 9162 TEU (Containers). According to Internet sources (December 2022) she is now named Akadimos and is Registered in Malta.
The image shows the CMA CGM Amazon motoring in Southampton Water Southampton, inbound for the Container Terminal at the Port. The image was captured using a Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 Bridge camera as I needed to take advantage of its Wide Angle capability due to the close proximity of the vessels at the time we passed one another.
