HMM ALGECIRAS

Christian Costa — Sun, 07 Jun 2020 22:16:03 +0000

Brand new HMM ALGECIRAS is passing Hamburg Blankenese on a rather cloudy morning on June 7th, 2020.
Built: 2020| IMO No.: 9863297 | Gross tonnage: 228,283 | Flag: Panama | Container capacity: 23,964 TEUShe is the very first so called Megamax-24 vessel to call the port of Hamburg.

The first tug boat needs to be attached the very beginning of the Hamburg port area.

The harbor pilot is entering shortly after entry in the port area as well.

Even though the draft was only 12.6 metres, her deck load with up tp 9 tiers of highcube containers is still very impressive.

On the picture you can clearly see the construction of a new lighthouse which will be necessary due to the river Elbe deepening.

Upon arrival in Hamburg the she must turn into Waltershofer Hafen. This time she is assisted by four tug boats as the turning basin is very narrow.

She is scheduled to berth at HHLA’s Container Terminal Burchardkai.

According to local sources during this call HHLA will move around 8.500 boxes which equals roughly 13.600 TEU.

Impressive 61.5 m or 24 containers of width.

Departure is scheduled for June 10th.

On time on June 10th, 2020 She left Hamburg again.
Following shots were taken in the evening off Cuxhaven – finally in sunlight:-)

MSC GÜLSÜN

Christian Costa — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 20:16:16 +0000

MSC Gülsün is arriving on her maiden voyage in Bremerhaven on August 19th, 2019.
MSC Gülsün is the very first so called MEGAMAX-24 vessel to call a North European port.
At her delivery in July she was the biggest containership ever built but in the meantime the slightly bigger MSC Mina gained this title.
The picture shows the MSC Gülsün arriving in Bremerhaven, the very first North European port ever called by a vessel of this size.
Built: 2019 | IMO No.: 9839430 | Gross tonnage: 232,618 | Flag: Panama | Container capacity: 22,960 TEU
MSC Gülsün arrived directly from the Spanish port of Algeciras in Bremerhaven and was warmly welcomed by local tug boats.

She arrived in very windy and rainy weather conditions but was berthed without any problems.

MSC Gülsün is a so called Megamax-24 type containership. Meaning 24 bays in length, 24 boxes on top of each other (12 below and 12 on deck) and 24 boxes in width.

As MSC Gülsün arrived straight from Algeciras, Bremerhaven is now the very first port in the North Range to be called by such a huge vessel.

The huge funnel is the result of an installation with SOx scrubbers
to comply with the IMO 2020 sulphur (oxide) emission regulations.

In Bremerhaven vessels of this size need to berth with starbord side alongside and therefore are turned in a special turning area.

MSC Gülsün was assisted by three tug boats. Two aft and one forward of the vessel.

MSC Gülsün and all vessels of her size will be the first containerships to have more than 60 metres of width (61,51 m).

After turning the vessel can proceed backwards towards her berth at MSCGate terminal, Bremerhaven.

Almost there..

MSC Gülsün was alongside in Bremerhaven for around 29 hours and left the port on time on the day after towards Gdansk, Poland.
