Currently in port - MS Berge Stahl (Norwegian bulk carrier)
Berge Stahl has a capacity of 364,767 metric tons deadweight (DWT) is 342.08 m (1,122 ft) long, a beam of 63.5 m (208 ft), and a draft, or depth in the water, of 23 m (75 ft).
Because of its massive size, Berge Stahl can only tie up, fully loaded, at two ports in the world, hauling ore from the Terminal Marítimo de Ponta da Madeira in Brazil to the Europoort near Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Even at these ports, passage must be timed to coincide with high tides to prevent the ship running aground. Berge Stahl made this trip about ten times each year, or a round-trip about every five weeks.
