Port of Melbourne welcomes its largest container ship to dock

The Port of Melbourne (PoM) has welcomed its largest container ship ever, the 10,662 teu CMA CGM Ural, onto its Webb Dock at the Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT).

Compared to the 4,500 teu carried by the average container ship that currently calls at PoM, this is a significant increase in load carrying capacity.

Brendan Bourke, CEO at PoM, said: “The arrival of CMA CGM Ural shows PoM’s capacity service the growing number of bigger vessels we’ll see into the future.
