On November 5, look at this ship next to us in the Panama Canal.
It's the auto carrier Hoegh Oceania.

Shame some of the product couldn't have "fallen off of the truck." :)

Would be nice to come home from your cruise with some brand new wheels, huh? :)

Blue skies ...

I have not seen a ship that big in the Canal. Thank you for sharing the photos with us.

That is so huge it's scary! Do you know its statistics? Length? Tonnage? Registry? No. of cars onboard? Does it carry a few passengers?

Here is their web site. Don't have answers to your questions.

Guess that's what they mean by PanaMAX? :)

Not a whole lot of info on the web, sure looks bigger in the photos than the stats. Right now she's sailing from Baltimore to Port Said.
