The Port of Philadelphia on Friday welcomed what officials described as the largest container ship that's ever stopped at a U.S. East Coast port. The CMA CGM Marco Polo was scheduled to arrive at the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal in South Philadelphia around 10:30 a.m. The vessel is 1,300 feet long, longer than three NFL football fields, and can carry more than 16,000 20-foot-long containers.
Shipping company CMA CGM in January launched a service aimed at exporting fruits and vegetables from Morocco to North American ports such as Philadelphia, New York, and Norfolk.
