LOS ANGELES: A huge new cargo ship is scheduled to arrive at the Port of Los Angeles this weekend.
The CMA-CGM Benjamin Franklin will be the largest container ship ever to call at a North American port when it arrives Saturday.
Recently delivered to the French shipping line CMA-CGM, the ship is 1,300 feet long, 177 feet wide and has the capacity of nearly 18,000 containers.
A port statement says that’s about a third larger than the biggest container ships that currently call at the twin ports of Los Angeles and adjacent Long Beach.
