\"MS<\/a><\/p>\n

Holland America Line MS Zaandam <\/b><\/a>made a port call to Honolulu Harbor this morning. I was down at Kaka’ako Waterfront Park waiting for her arrival at 6:30 this morning. She was scheduled to arrive at 7 am. She came in a little later than that, all the better since the day was just starting and the lighting conditions were improving.<\/p>\n

The MS Zaandam<\/b><\/a> is 777 ft. long, weighs 61,396 tons and is 10 stories high. She has a carrying capacity of more than 1400 passengers. The ship was launched in the year 2000 and is a regular visitor to the islands along with her sister ship, MS Rotterdam<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

MS Zaandam sailed in from Nawiliwili Harbor on Kauai and is scheduled to leave at 11:00 tonight for Lahaina, Maui. She was tied up at Pier 10.<\/p>\n
