Mersin International Port (MIP) marked a major milestone with the successful berthing of the 400-meter mega vessel MSC DITTE at its newly completed East Med Hub 2 (EMH2) Terminal, which spans 880 meters. The arrival of the 19,313 TEU container ship was celebrated with a welcome ceremony, underscoring MIP’s growing role in international maritime logistics.

General Manager of MIP, Ajay Kumar Singh said: “We are proud to host MSC DITTE at Mersin International Port as this marks a historic milestone that reinforces the port’s strategic role in global trade and its growing importance as a regional logistics hub. Large vessels like MSC DITTE are increasingly vital to the global supply chain – they boost efficiency, reduce costs, and support sustainability by lowering carbon emissions per container.”

He added, “Since 2007, MIP has grown into one of Türkiye’s largest container ports through strategic investments. With EMH2, we have expanded our capacity and enhanced our role in global shipping.
