Genoa calls for 20,000 TEU vessels

COSCO SHIPPING adds four 400-metre-long giants to its Asia Mediterranean Service (AEM1), with “COSCO SHIPPING Aries”’ first arrival on 19^th March as the first 20,000TEU vessel to call the Port of Genoa on a regular basis

Special appearances are in the DNA of the “COSCO SHIPPING Aries”: On its maiden voyage in 2018, the ultra-large container vessel already became the first 20,000 TEU class ship from China to call HHLA Container Terminal Tollerort in Hamburg, Germany.

Next week, in the morning of 19^th March, it’s one of those special moments for “COSCO SHIPPING Aries” again: Captain Wang Chunsheng and his crew will be the first to sail the 400-metre-long giant into the Port of Genoa, Italy’s largest port in containerized direct traffic.

By operating “COSCO SHIPPING Aries”, three other ultra-large container vessels, and four vessels of different sizes on its Asia-Mediterranean Service (AEM1), COSCO SHIPPING has become the first shipping company to call the Port of Genoa with 20,000 TEU vessels on a regular basis.
