Huge ship enters Hai Phong Port

Maersk Nicolai, with a capacity of 2,274 24-foot containers (TEU), is the first feeder vessel owned by Maersk Line.

It sailed from Cai Lan port and made its call at Tan Vu port in Hai Phong last week.

Maersk Nicolai is the biggest ship that has ever stopped at Hai Phong port. This was the first voyage of Maersk Line's upgraded NV5 service. The ship's capacity of 35,000 tons is a third higher than that of previous ships used on this service.

The NV5 service is one of Maersk Line's biggest feeder services in Viet Nam, contributing to the flow of imports and exports. The main commodities carried on the service include garments, footwear and electronics.

The ship calls on Hai Phong bi-weekly. The ship's port of calls are Hai Phong, Da Nang, Tanjung Pelepas (Malaysia) and Singapore.
