Le Havre receives 18,000-TEU Magleby Maersk on maiden voyage
THE French port of Le Havre's HAROPA terminal that serves north Europe has received the 18,000-TEU Magleby Maersk, one of the Triple E class of newbuildings, fully laden on its maiden voyage.
Port authorities said the choice of Le Havre demonstrates that the Norman port is fully suited for "managing the increase in ship size and their specific needs in terms of performance".
This comes as Port 2000 accommodated 300 containerships of above 10,000 TEU last year, an increase of 27 per cent compared to the previous year.
In total, 20 "Triple-E" container vessels will be delivered to Maersk Line company by 2015. They will be operated on the Asia to Europe route and they will connect eight Asian ports with six European ports.
