Contecon Manzanillo sets record in single ship call

Contecon Manzanillo S.A. (CMSA), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) business unit operating the Specialised Container Terminal 2 in the port of Manzanillo, hit a new milestone with the handling of 14,400 TEUs during the recent call of the CMA CGM vessel APL Vanda.

“The operation on the APL Vanda, with more than 14,400 TEUs, is a historic milestone for Contecon Manzanillo and the entire Mexican port community. It reaffirms our capability to handle mega ships and large volumes per vessel call, and consolidates the confidence of our customers, with whom we jointly support the development and growth of Mexico,” said José Antonio Contreras, CMSA chief executive officer.

The arrival of APL Vanda, part of CMA CGM’s Asia Central South America service, marks the second time a 400-meter long ship has reached the Mexican port since CMA CGM Alexander von Humboldt’s arrival last August. APL Vanda is now the largest ship to call at this port, boasting a capacity of 17,292 TEUs.
