SUNDAY, MAY 7, 2023
An early morning arrival was MSC Japan on the CANEX 1 service from the Mediterranean. Halifax is the first call in North America and is also a convenient stop off point to reduce draft for the St.Lawrence River.
When the ship sailed late this afternoon for Montreal it was quite apparent that they had reduced draft, and the ship had no containers on its after deck at all. Dating from 1996 when it was built by Samsung Geoje, it is a 37,518 gt, 42,938 dwt ship with a capacity of 3424 TEU including 284 reefers. Its original name was Manzanillo but was renamed TMM Manzanillo soon after delivery, reverting to Manzanillo in 1997. In 2000 it was renamed APL Panama and MSC Japan in 2001.

Despite its age its owners felt the ship was worth investing in and they have installed an exhaust gas scrubber.
