Not sure if anyone has much interest in boats or ships anymore but we have a special visitor in Halifax.
Supposed to be the biggest container ship to ever visit the east coast of North America and the Port of Halifax is first to host it

Wowser! Wonder how many gallons per mile it burns?


About 65-70 based on what I read and it is roughly 3% more efficient
than it's closest competitor.

BTW you can hitch a ride in a typical cruise ship style cabin or suite
for ~$120-180 a day double occupancy. (11 cabins in various trims).
No pool, spa or casino and I doubt you are getting baked Alaska at
dinner.
