This milestone confirms the growing position as an important global transpiration center of displification, which is located only at a distance of only 10 knots (19 km) from the strategically prominent international shipping route in front of the West. The 20-meter natural concept of the port allows to accept the Ultra-Loar holding (ULCV) without wide bagger. The historic docking took place in September 2024 following a call call by MSC Cloud Girardet, which retained the previous benchmark with its 24,116 TEU capacity. ‘MSC Turkia’ has now left the record.
