MSC Sixin

Record Breaker

 

Mediterranean Shipping Company's Swan-Sentosa Service rotation brought in a first of it's kind visitor to the San Pedro Bay. The ultra large container ship, MSC Sixin with capacity for 23,656 TEU it's the first twenty-thousand TEU plus container ship to call at a US port. Even though the ship sailed into port with a partial load, with the entire rear section left unloaded above the deck, and the two sections next the funnel behind halved; this ship still looked impossibly large with a eight day discharge and reload to crane height.
