The 261-meter container ship “Zim Texas” entering the port of Livorno.
She was assisted by the tugs “Francesca Neri” and “Porto di Livorno”.
The “Zim Texas” has a capacity of 4,200 TEU (Twenty-foot equivalent unit), but the ship is loaded mostly with forty-foot containers (2 TEU each). (Photos taken last April)

It looks well loaded.
Ships like this always makes me wonder what's inside the containers. Some bike inner tubes maybe? :-)
It does look weighted down!
In whatever units, it is simply hard to imagine such a big load capacity.
Makes me wonder what's inside all those containers!
What a sight to see! These ships are amazing.
Your photos are superb! What a massive ship!
You wonder how those little tugs can pull such a load, but I guess it's more about guiding than weight when in the water.
They always look so top heavy when loaded up!
These are wonderful VP.
Looks like a big shipment!
Although a common sight here, it always amazes me, especially when well photographed as this one is.
