New container record is set

A new record was set recently by the largest container vessel MSC Gulsun while it was departing Port of Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia. It should be noted that the previous container record was set by the same port in Malaysia. This time, MSC Gulsun was loaded with unimaginable 19,574 TEUs  on its board (1 TEU is equal to one 20’ container).

It should also be mentioned that port operates around 12.5 Million TEUs a year, linear berths is more than 5 km in length and it has 58 Super Cranes which can do about 100 moves per hour minimum.  

It was announced by authorities to implement up-to-date technologies that will allow port to continue growth and to avoid unplanned disruption of daily operations. Port should launch new Navis N4 terminal operating system that will provide services with quality and scalability.  

Eagle Bulk Moves Office to Copenhagen
Ship owner and operator Eagle Bulk Shipping has moved one of their commercial offices from Hamburg, Germany to Copenhagen, Denmark.

The company now operates three offices: Connecticut (USA), Singapore and Denmark.

“Given its significant concentration of drybulk activity, we believe that Copenhagen is the ideal location for our European commercial operations,” CEO Gary Vogel said.

Back in July, the company reported a net loss of USD 6 million for Q2 2019, owing to the challenging freight environment in the first six months of the year.

Eagle Bulk has a fleet of 46 vessels with a focus on Ultramax and Supramax ships.
