Description:

Bluff NZ
22/4/2012

MSC Rafela inward bound from Australia

She now holds the record as the longest ship to Bluff and largest containership for both GRT/DWT to visit Bluff.

She is the second largest ship in GRT terms to ever visit Bluff, the vehicles carrier Positive Passion holding the record to date.

She and her sister MSC Alexa were also the first new ships built for MSC, from the profits out of the stupidity of the large container Lines who sold their old containerships to MSC rather than having them broken up.
