APM Terminals Quetzal saw largest boxship to ever berth in Guatemala

APM Terminals Quetzal in Guatemala handled the largest container ship to ever call at a country’s terminal, the 13,248 TEU vessel Wan Hai A01.

Earlier this month, the new panamax boxship, which was built in 2023 and is 336 metres long, 51 metres wide, and has a maximum draught of 15.1 metres, berthed in Guatemala’s APM Terminals Quetzal, marking a new era in the country’s history.

According to the statement, APM Terminals Quetzal is the largest facility on the west coast of Central America between the port of Lázaro Cardenas in México and the Panama Canal, and the only box terminal in Guatemala that can easily accommodate ships of this size.

Beyond size, the port provides efficiency, security, control, and cargo management with a cutting-edge operating system, a 350m quay, 14.5m draught, and three Super Post Panamax Ship-to-Shore cranes, with outreach spanning 20 containers.

Wan Hai’s container ship is deployed on the Taiwanese carrier’s Asia-South America weekly service which calls Lazaro Cardenas – Puerto Quetzal – Callao – Guayaquil – Manzanillo – Pusan – Kaohsiung – Shekou – Hong Kong – Ningbo – Shanghai – Manzanillo – Lazaro Cardenas.
