APM Terminals completes phase-three expansion to increase capacity in Alabama

APM Terminals (APMT) Mobile has simultaneously handled two container ships for the first time, thanks to the completion of a 400 ft container dock extension.

Three days after the extension was completed, the BELITA with a length overall (LOA) of 1,096 ft and the COSCO SANTOS with a LOA of 856 ft utilised about 2,100 ft of berth on the newly finished quay.

The berth now enables two 8,000 to 10,000 teu vessels to be safely and easily handled simultaneously.
