YICT welcomed the
simultaneous call of four
mega-vessels
On 19 June 2015, YICT welcomed the simultaneous arrival of
three 18,000-plus TEU container vessels, along with one 11,000-
plus TEU vessel for the first time. The handling of the four mega-
vessels,
CSCL Pacific Ocean
,
Mayview Maersk
,
Marit Maersk
and
CMA CGM Cassiopeia
, was preceded just one month
before by the simultaneous handling of three 16,000-plus TEU
mega-vessels. YICT’s ability to handle multiple mega-vessels
concurrently is unmatched by any other port in the region, and
speaks volumes to the eciency and quality of the port’s sta,
operational processes and facilities.
West Port Phase II is an ongoing expansion project at YICT with the
addition of three new berths to the port. The first berth commenced
operations in February 2016. When the entire project is completed,
a total area of 44 hectares will be added.
In addition, the YICT Phase III Expansion South Berth is currently under
construction. The berth will increase YICT’s handling capability by
approximately one million TEU per year, which further cements the port
as the mega-vessel hub in the region.
