THE Port of Felixstowe has broken its record for the most containers handled on a single ship for the third time in two months after the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) Amelia handled 27,961 TEU, reports AJOT.
The vessel is operated on the 2M Alliance Griffin/AE55 Far East Asia to North Europe service.
"The increasing size of container ships places great demand on port resources and we are pleased with the way we have responded to this challenge. We are continuing to invest in the people, infrastructure, systems, and equipment needed to service the growing number of ultra-large container ships on the world's major trades as well as the increasing volume of containers on each ship," said Port of Felixstowe chief operating officer Robert Ashton.
"The logistics of such an operation are immense and we will continue to work closely with the 2M partners, Maersk Line and MSC to help achieve their objectives to supply the current high demand for Far East imports to UK consumers."
