Spain’s Terminal de Contenidors de Barcelona, part of Grup Marítim TCB, has set a company record for movements in handling a single ship.
TCB completed handling of the CMA CGM Effingham, which is operated by CMA CGM and Maersk Line, with a total of 3,784 loading and unloading movements. Operations started at 8 a.m. on July 19 and were completed by midday on July 20, taking about 28 hours in total. Three super-post-Panamax cranes were involved in the operation initially to bring the height down, and up to five cranes were then involved in the second phase.
