CMA CGM Vela

Picture
CMA CGM Vela photographed on the Solent inbound to Southampton from the deck of the Red Funnel Ferry on 26 October 2013. 

She passed close to our ferry and to be honest my pictures do not do her justice.  It was also quite late in the afternoon, the sky was overcast and the light was not great which did not help.

Her keel was laid on 28 April 2008, she was launched on 12 July 2008 and delivered 17 October 2008.

She can carry 11,000 20ft containers and 5477 40ft containers and is powered by a MAN B&W 12K98ME-C7 main engine.

She is currently one of 12 vessels employed on 'French Asia Line 3' which visits 18 Ports of Call in 83 Days. The itinerary for this circuit is noted below, this would make a brilliant ship spotting trip!

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
