2009/3/24
Global marine terminal operator DP World''s recently-inaugurated Doraleh Container terminal at Djibouti received CMA-CGM''s Ivanhoe, with a nominal capacity of 9660 TEUs, the Middle East North Africa Financial Network reported.
With an overall length of 350 metres, width of 43 metres gross tonnage of more than 111,000 tonnes, the Ivanhoe is one of four Post-Panamax vessels completed late last year by Hyundai''s Ulsan shipyard for CMA CGM.
The Ivanhoe, on her maiden voyage, berthed at Doraleh, her second port of call after DP World Southampton. Doraleh''s 18 metre draft makes it one of a very few ports in the region capable of handling a vessel of this size.
