YM Wind came in on a zephyr this morning from Charleston, a nippy morning though seasonal at 48 degrees. Sorry the USACE boat photobombed this shot.
I’m not sure where Wind was before Charleston, but she’s transporting many fewer than her 14k teu. By the way, I’m starting to see more references to feu now, 40 foot equivalent units, so a 14k teu is only a 7k feu….
Just in time, Gregg McAllister shows up to assist Ellen and Ava with the job. I believe Patrice is there too, invisible on starboard side, dock side.
Wind first called here a bit over two years ago, here.
All photos, WVD, who thinks Wind is the best of the names for the twenty W-series of YM 14000k teu ships.

I’m not recognizing the Army Corps Photo Bomb. What comes to mind are SHUMAN and RODOLPH, but she’s neither of those. What am I missing?
Yes, if they’re beginning to use the term FEU, it’s definitely just twice the TEU capacity. On some vessels there are places that can only hold 20’s. I imagine these days, with the proliferation of packaged goods, that’s a pretty tiny percentage of the cells/stumps where the containers land. Since most containers are now 40’s, FEU just might be a better description of the vessel’s capacity.

Ah, yes, Thank you, Will. I guess I haven’t kept up with what’s where. And among those two, I agree that’s DOBRIN. HOCKING has a different deckhouse pattern. I think the only other one that looks like this is ADAMS II which I believe is serving in the Norfolk district.
