Currently the world’s largest container ship, the MSC “Gülsün”, docked for the first time at the MSC Gate Terminal in Bremerhaven on 19 August.
Following a construction period of around three years, the ship was taken into operation by the owner Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) on 4 July 2019 and put into scheduled service (Silk Service) between Asia and Europe. With a length of 399.9 metres, a width of 61.55 metres, a draught of up to 16.5 metres and a transport capacity of around 23,000 standard containers (TEUs), the “MSC GÜLSÜN” clearly surpasses the current record holder, Orient Overseas Container Line’s (OOCL) G-class.
Friedrich Stuhrmann, Managing Director of MSC Gate, was impressed by the dimensions of the new ship class: “They represent the next step in ever larger ship sizes. The privilege to be a fixed port of call on the maiden voyage of such a mega vessel is really exciting for all concerned. Obviously, we are well-prepared for the arrival of the MSC Megamax-24 class and will handle these ships with our usual quality. MSC Gate already handles several ships a week in MSC’s Pegasus class and Maersk’s Triple-E class, and therefore demonstrates its performance capacity on a weekly basis. We have the capability to handle this new ship class.”
The container carrier is the first of 11 ships in total in the so-called MSC Megamax-24 class, which MSC has commissioned from two Korean shipyards. The sister ship “MSC Mina” is also currently on its maiden voyage from Eastern Asia to Europe. It arrived in Bremerhaven on 9 September.
