Carnival Cruise: (Satellite)
Ferry Terminal: (Satellite)
For ONE Mission, several sources give the build date as 2011, and the dimensions as 302m long by 43m wide. But only one was willing to give me the TEU capacity without paying money. MarineTraffic specifies 6724 TEU. (I also found 6724 in the ONE fleet list.) Looking at the lock sizes, ONE Mission is a little too big to use the original Panama Canal locks. The seven new ships are not only designed to exploit the capacity of the new locks, but they have also figured out how to add another 2,000 TEUs to the design to achieve a 14,000 TEU capacity.
Container Ships

ONE = Ocean Network Express ONE was formed in 2017 "through the combination of Japan’s three biggest container shipping lines, NYK Line, “K” Line and MOL." When formed it became the "world's 6th largest container shipping company controlling a fleet of about 240 vessels and a combined capacity of 1,440,000 TEU." [gcaptain-fristNA] I remember reading an article that UP got an exclusive contract to handle their containers in the US.
These are two of the 14,000 TEU ships that were planned for delivery in 2018. 14,000 TEUs means the new ships are designed to take advantage of the newer, bigger locks on the Panama Canal.

Since ONE Mission is a relatively small ship, I don't know if Nashville Ave. can handle 14,000 TEU ships. The constraints would be the size of the cranes, the draft of the dock and the clearance under the only downstream bridges, the Crescent City Connection.

Near crash with Natchez near ferry dock
 |
| 2:52 video Near crash on the river yesterday. Towboat pushing 24 barges comes within inches of hitting the Natchez riverboat, and the ferry boat has to leave the dock in a panic to avoid being crushed. The captain of the tow boat, Roger L Knight did an amazing job avoiding a disaster. Lisa Delcour shared [According to some comments the wind was so strong that the towboat couldn't control the tow, so the captain brought it to rest against the bank. To complicate things, there is an upstream eddy here.] |
