IS YOUR PORT READY?
Behold the CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin … the largest container ship ever to sail to the United States.
This massive vessel called on the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, California last weekend, officially ushering in the “mega-ship” era in the United States.
Built in China, registered in Great Britain and owned by a French shipping fleet, the Franklin holds a whopping 18,000 TEUs (or twenty-foot equivalent units, the industry metric). That makes it roughly a third bigger than the largest ships currently visiting U.S. ports.
You know, when they’re open.
Take a look …
