TCP breaks two consecutive records in ship operation

TCP – the company that manages the Paranaguá container terminal, has registered two new shipping records. The first concerns the Tip Top container vessel owned by Taiwanese shipowner Yang Ming, which delivered the largest cargo in terms of shipping capacity ever received by the terminal, 12,726 TEU. The second record was set for handling for a single vessel, with 3,549 movements on the MSC Ajaccio, operating a total of 5,970 TEU.

Yang Ming Tip Top
The Yang Ming Tip Top vessel is 332.2 meters long, 48.2 meters wide (mouth), and has 1000 outlets for refrigerated containers. It came to Paranaguá on its first trip to Brazil. With a capacity of up to 12,726 TEU, this was the largest vessel in this category to dock at TCP, on July 30th. Prior to that, the Seaspan Harrier owned by shipowner ONE had reached the target in the terminal, with a capacity of up to 11,923 TEUs.

MSC Ajaccio
The ship MSC Ajaccio, which is destined for the ports of the Mediterranean Sea, arrived in Paraná on August 5th with imported products such as automotive parts and chemicals and left the port loaded with refrigerated cargo such as meat and commodities (beans, corn, and others). During the operation, 3,549 movements were carried out, the largest number ever performed on a single vessel by TCP. To reach the goal, the Terminal used five STS (Ship to Shore) cranes simultaneously.
