Da Chan Bay Terminal One welcomes Maersk Line

The vessel, one of 19 container ships deployed on the service, is 332 m in length with a 43.4 m beam and has a maximum capacity of 8,400 teus.

Managed by Modern Terminals, Da Chan Bay Terminal One serves the Pan-Pearl River Delta cargo catchment area and was opened with two berths in December 2007. During last year a further three berths were completed along its 1830 m quayside, providing a total terminal area of 112 hectares.

With a fleet of 12 dual-hoist tandem-lift quay cranes the current 15.5m quay depth is to be dredged to 18 metres, allowing Da Chan Bay to accommodate the world’s largest existing and planned container vessels.
