Tuesday, 3 September, between 2 and 3 p.m., the port of Rotterdam expects to welcome MSC Gülsün, the port says in press release.
The ship will be calling on the APMT2 terminal at Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam. With a length of 400 metres and a width of 62 metres, this vessel has a capacity of 23,756 TEU (20-foot standard containers), making it the largest container ship in the world. MSC Gülsün is the first vessel of its kind that can transport 24 containers side by side across the breadth of its hull. Until recently, the 21,413-TEU OOCL HongKong, which was taken into service two years ago, ranked as the world’s largest container ship.
