The beginning of 2016 brought 2 new records in AGCT operations, and both of them were set on January 3rd. That day will stay marked being the first time that we have had 2 vessels with cumulative length of 544 meters berthed and operated simultaneously.
„Uni Phoenix“, a 181 meter long container vessel on berth 1. is a well-known guest at AGCT, which we operate on every 3 weeks in the regular weekly service of Evergreen Line.
„MSC Luciana“, berthed on second berth called Rijeka for the first time within the regular „2M East – West Network“ service jointly run by MSC and MAERSK and connecting Rijeka with the Far East on a weekly basis.
Even though, with its 363 meters length MSC Luciana is not the longest container vessel ever berthed at AGCT (compared with the 367 meter long Maersk „M-Class“ vessels, including Gerda, Gustav and Gunhilde which are regular guests in Rijeka), given its 46 meter beam it can load up to 11 700 TEU (TEU=twenty-foot equivalent unit). This allows Luciana to set a new record – the largest nominal capacity container vessel ever berthed in Rijeka! She is sharing this record with her sisters – Ivana (berthed in Rijeka a week later, 08/01/2016) and Francesca and Sola expected in Rijeka in Jan/Feb 2016.
