CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin.
The Containership CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin featured in this image, at 179992 Gross Tons is likely to be the largest containership I have ever seen. The fact that she can carry 17859 standard sized containers to me is mind boggling. She was built in China in 2005 is Registered in Malta and is a Explorer Class Containership. The image was captured from Calshot Southampton in April 2021 as she was approaching the Reach and Black Jack Buoys in-bound for Southampton's Container Terminal.
