The Great Crossing

Udgivet: 19.03.2018

On April 2nd, 2018, the time has come. A long-held dream finally comes true: a journey on a cargo ship.
After intensive preparations, my ship, the White Shark of the French shipping company CMA CGM, will depart from Antwerp, Belgium.
(Unfortunately, the original start in Le Havre fell through, the stop was canceled on short notice)
CMA CGM White Shark, 2007, sailing under British flag, 294mx32m,  capacity: approx. 5000 20-foot ISO containers

First, we will go northeast via Rotterdam to Bremerhaven. Then back through the English Channel and across the North Atlantic to the USA, to Charleston, Savannah, and Miami. The final leg will take us through the Gulf of Mexico to the destination of the first leg in Veracruz.


The current position of the ship can be tracked here:
At sea, the position is updated irregularly, along the coast usually daily or even more frequently.

More information about the ship here:
Marinetraffic.com, CMA CGM White Shark (most often the ship position is more up-to-date on this page)

The crossing takes about 20 days.

Internet access is very limited. And that's a good thing. Hopefully, after arriving in Mexico, I will be able to show you some impressions of life at sea. Also, the next leg should be roughly determined by then... I'm excited :-)
