The Moín Container Terminal (TCM) received this week its third largest vessel to ever berth at the port since the Costa Rican terminal operations began in February 2019.
More specifically, MSC-operated 9,408 TEU Elma called TCM, which is operated by Maersk’s port operator APM Terminals. The TCM can receive Post Panamax Plus ships, and simultaneously serve two ships with a capacity of up to 8,500 TEUs each, according to a recent statement.
In addition, according to Moín Container Terminal, together with connections for 3,800 refrigerated containers, this opens opportunities for Costa Rican companies that trade with other countries, through services with new rotations, connecting Ecuador, Peru and Europe.
Victor Konen, commercial director of APM Terminals, commented, “The deep draft of our berths coupled with the outreach of our cranes, allows us to receive ships up to four times larger than those that could previously be served in the Caribbean. These characteristics increase the attractiveness of TCM for a growing number of large vessels.”
