MUST WATCH - Probably my best drone video so far!

A spectacular bird's eye view of the very large 9034 TEU / 94,784 GRT United Arab Shipping Company container vessel UASC UMM QASR making her 180 degree turn as it prepares to dock at the Halterm Container Terminal at the Port of Halifax, NS, Canada with a near full load, inbound from Port Kelang, Malaysia.

The tug ATLANTIC FIR positioned at the stern, is working hard to maneuver the massive vessel.

This Neo-Panamax vessel, at over 48 meters wide is the maximum width to fit through the recently expanded Panama Canal.  However the new Panama Canal can accommodate vessels up to 366 meters, 66 meters longer than the UASC UMM QASR.
