At the beginning of April 2017 NUTEP container terminal completed the registration of technical documentation and received permits allowing handling of vessels with lengths up to 172 meters at berth protection No. 39, says DeloPorts. Earlier ships of 150 meters in length could be handled at this berth.
The change in the berth's passport is intended to improve the efficiency of the current berths of NUTEP, reduce the waiting time for vessels on the roadstead, and reduce the ship owners’ expenses by reducing the time of vessel processing and the overall delivery time of cargo by sea when entering the terminal.
The linear ship of the Yang Ming line, 172 meters long, was moored at berth protection No. 39 on 7 April 2017.
