As of March 1, 2022, CMA CGM Adonis was still in the shipyard, not yet delivered. By March 31, the vessel was in Qingdao and loaded, casting off lines. And April 29, 2022, she had a Sandy Hook pilot on board and was proceeding up the Ambrose Channel, making her first ever cargo call anywhere.
And here, as a SeaStreak fast ferry overtakes it off to port, a Moran tug is about to land a docking pilot on board for her first call.
It turns out that James D did the honors, not JRT, which took the stern.

All photos, WVD, who wishes to say “welcome to the sixth boro, CMA CGM Adonis.“

I looked at that construction photo, and was haunted by the lack of containers. How do they know they’ll all fit? I think back to the time around 1970 when so many hasty container conversions were being made from WWII era ships, and fitting problems were always a hazard.
