I'm not into the Welland Canal locks, but I can count containers.
And I count only 9 containers wide which means 22.5 meters (in this picture as well in older pics), add a few centimters/decimeters and you'll stay within 23 meters.
So the 30 meter beam must be a typo, it's 23 meters.
Cheers,
Roy

This vsl, with a 30 m beam, built in Sturgeon Bay WI,
had to make her delivery voyage in 1987 to the salty
waters of the eastern seaboard, in order to start her
container carrier life.....
How did they pass through the Welland Canal Locks
with her beam of THIRTY meters?
According to my knowledge, the max allowed beam is
about 23 meters.....?
Anybody???
Thanks, Capt.Bill
