Two at a time for the first time in Southampton

[ May 2, 2024   //   ]

DP World Southampton handled two of the world’s largest container vessels simultaneously for the first time on 30 April. Associated British Ports (ABP) has invested in widening the channel within the Western Docks, which has enabled ABP Marine Pilots to manoeuvre ultra-large vessels to other berths in DP World’s container terminal.

The task was previously reserved only for the SCT 5 berth.

The Port of Southampton is the UK’s second largest container port, and its unique double tide means the Port has 17 hours of high tides and offers flexibility in arrival and departure times.
