Benin Terminal welcomes 300 m container ship for first time

Benin Terminal, the operator of the container terminal at the Port of Cotonou, has welcomed a 300 m container vessel, making it the largest ship to have ever berthed at the port.

Maersk’s CCNI Arauco has a loading capacity of 8,700 teu and weights more than 100,000 tonnes, sailing under the Hong Kong flag.

Thanks to the cooperation between the terminal operator and the Autonomous Port of Cotonou, four other ships of this size have already been announced over the next few days on Benin Terminal’s berths.
