MSC Paloma Becomes The Largest Container Vessel To Transit The Adriatic

14,000 TEU container ship MSC Paloma is by far the largest container vessel that has ever entered the Adriatic Sea; until now the record was held by last year’s MSC Luciana with the capacity of 11,660 TEU. Although not the longest, MSC Paloma is with its 51 meters the widest container vessel ever moored in Koper. It arrived from Piraeus and will continue its journey to Trieste. MSC Paloma is part of 2M alliance which links North Adriatic with the Far East. Other than the Swiss shipping company MSC, the alliance is comprised of the Danish Maersk, i.e. the two largest container lines in the world which are ranked at the top in terms of TEUs handled also in Koper. Paloma which has the maximum draught of 16 metres came to Koper with 12.6 m draught and it will unload/load a total of 3,600 TEU. http://www.marineinsight.com/shipping-news/msc-paloma-becomes-largest-container-vessel-transit-adriatic/
