THE first of the upsized EC5 vessels has arrived at the Port of Halifax. The 14,026-TEU ONE Stork arrived at PSA Halifax Atlantic Hub on April 26, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
ONE is a member of THE Alliance which includes Hapag Lloyd, Ocean Network Express (ONE), Yang Ming and Hyundai Merchant Marine.
"We welcome the deployment of larger vessels as part of the EC5 service to our port city," said Captain Allan Gray, president and CEO, of Halifax Port Authority.
"PSA Halifax Atlantic Hub has the infrastructure, operational knowledge, and experience to efficiently handle vessels of this size. The upsizing of these vessels continues to solidify Halifax as Canada's Ultra Atlantic Gateway."
PSA Halifax Atlantic Hub terminal features the longest and deepest berth of any Canadian port in Eastern Canada, with a continuous quay length of 800 metres at a depth of 16.5 metres, a terminal area of 32 hectares, five super postpanamax (SPPX) cranes and unimpeded access to international shipping lanes. Two additional SPPX cranes will arrive later this year along with new yard handling equipment.
