The Albert Maersk at the SP-SPA port in Vietnam's Ba Ria-Vung Tau province this week.
Ba Ria-Vung Tau – SP-PSA International Port yesterday successfully handled a trial call by a Maersk Line 352m-long container vessel, the Albert Maersk, the largest ship ever to call at a Vietnamese port, whether by length, deadweight tonnage or container capacity. The Albert Maersk has a capacity of 109,000DWT or 8,272-TEU. The vessel called at the new port facility ahead of a likely start to the Maersk Line’s new direct-call services to Europe and North America.
