摘要

DP World London Gateway Port has welcomed one of the world's largest container ships carrying a record 18,601 teu. The UASC owned Al Muraykh chose to call at DP World London Gateway to unload 3,800 teu. The ship is one of the largest in the world measuring 400 m in length. The containers are loaded 11 storeys high above deck and 23 containers across the ship. With thousands more stowed below deck, the ship can carry up to 18,800 teu. The ship left Malaysia's Port Klang carrying the most ever shipping containers on board a vessel and arrived at DP World London Gateway Port as its first port of call in Europe.
