On 13 September 2019, DCT Gdańsk in Poland handled an exceptional number of containers on the MSC MINA – a new class of Megamax-24 vessels and one of the largest ships afloat in the world today. During her three-day stay as part of a weekly 2M Silk/AE-10 service call, a total of 12,192 containers (20,081 TEUs) were loaded and unloaded.

Seven state-of-the-art ship-to-shore cranes, with outreach in excess of 25 rows, were deployed to complete the job. In addition, a new berth productivity record of 219 moves per hour was also recorded during one of the shifts.

This exchange of containers on a single vessel is a record achievement for both DCT Gdańsk and the Baltic region!
