Klaipėda port breaks record again
Mar 01 2011
On 1 March 2011 containership “MSC Fortunate” called at Klaipėda seaport. “MSC Fortunate” is the biggest and widest containership with the largest cargo carrying capacity that has ever entered Klaipėda port. The fact that Klaipėda port accommodated “MSC Fortunate”, which is classified as a post-Panamax type vessel, clearly proves that the port has achieved a new level of services – becoming the leader not only in liner shipping among the Baltic Sea countries, but also is building the name as a distribution centre for containerised cargo.
The ship, which is 274.64 metres long, 40 metres wide, its cargo capacity – 5551 TEU, was moored at quays of stevedoring company “Klaipėdos Smeltė”.
The international operator of port terminals Terminal Investment Limited, which holds the controlling interest in the company „Klaipėdos Smeltė“ and collaborates with Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), has plans to establish a centre of containerised cargo distribution for the Baltic Sea region in the port of Klaipėda.
Until present, the last largest containership that visited Klaipėda was “MSC Aniello” (length – 259.50 metres, width – 32.20 metres, cargo carrying capacity – 4056 TEU). Mоrее
