Kiel Express

Kiel Express slides through the Narrows this morning on her way in to Fairview Cove. The ship is the name vessel of a class of eight ships, all of which are regular callers in Halifax.

Built in 1991 by Samsung Shipbuilding & Heavy Industries in Koje, Japan, she measures 53,783 gross tons and carries 4626 TEUs.

Svitzer Canada's Point Chebucto is on her starboard bow, and out of sight of the camera, readying to turn the ship once it enters Bedford Basin.
