This week, the ECT Delta Terminal handled 11,051 containers (18,500 teus) from the Thalassa Hellas. Never before were so many containers handled in Europe during one call.
The containers form a line of more than 110 kilometres: about the length of the highway between Rotterdam and Antwerp.
Thalassa Hellas
Evergreen Line's Thalassa Hellas is 368 metres long, 51 metres wide and has a capacity of 13,806 teu. During its visit to ECT, 5215 containers were discharged and 5836 containers were loaded. The ECT Delta Terminal is the first and only port of call for the Thalassa Hellas in the Le Havre-Hamburg range in northwestern Europe.
The previous record was also held by ECT, when the Thalassa Pistis called the terminal and 10,557 containers were handled. This took place in October last year.
