Car carriers continue to call in Halifax, despite the upheaval in the auto industry due to US import restrictions and duties. Most of the ships that call here are en route from Europe to the United States, and Canadian imports may be a small proportion of their cargo.
Today, May 8, it was the Tannhauser, a regular caller on Wallenius Wilhelmsen's transatlantic route.
The far ranging ship sailed from Pyeongteak, South Korea on March 4 then, via the Suez Canal, called in Tarragona, Fos, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Bremerhaven, and Zeebrugge before calling in Southampton, April 27 to 29.
The ship was built in 2020 by Tianjin Xingang and comes in at 73,358 gt, 24,155 dwt with a capacity of 7656 RT43 cars. It also has five hoistable decks and a 320 tonne capacity stern ramp.
Its next port of call is to be Baltimore.
