DCT Gdansk says it welcomed the world’s largest container ship MSC Gulsun. “We are honoured to welcome alongside DCT Gdansk the world’s first 24-row wide container vessel, the MSC Gulsun as part of her weekly 2M Silk/AE-10 service call” the company said in a press release.
During her stay at Gdansk, the MSC Gulsun will exchange around 11,000 containers (18,000 TEU). This is the largest regular container exchange anywhere in Europe.
Since 2013 the world’s largest container vessels have been regularly calling at DCT Gdansk, where our state-of-the-art STS cranes with in-excess of 25 row outreach, deep-water berths and turning circles of up to 670m diameter mean that DCT is more than ready to handle the world’s new class of Megamax-24 vessels, with a capacity of 23,756 TEU (20-foot equivalent unit).
„At DCT Gdansk, we continually invest for the future, so when the future arrives – as it has with this new class of vessel – we’re ready for it. We’d like to thank our customers for using DCT Gdansk as the Gateway to Eastern Europe and to MSC for entrusting us with their new flagship class of vessels, where we aim to provide the highest level of service and dependability.” says CEO of DCT Gdansk, Cameron Thorpe.
