The Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) hosted a welcome reception at the terminal to mark the vessel’s maiden call to Jebel Ali. The ceremony was attended by senior executives from DP World and MSC as well as MSC’s clients. The MSC Daniela is currently the largest container vessel in operation. With an overall length of 366 metres, a 51 metre beam, gross tonnage of 135,000 tonnes and a maximum draught of 15 metres, she spearheads the new generation of mega-vessels (over 12,000 TEU). Mohammed Al Muallem, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of DP World’s UAE Region, said: “We are proud to have the MSC Daniela call at our facility, underscoring Dubai’s regional hub status. Our Jebel Ali terminal is geared to efficiently handle vessels of her capacity and size. This is a direct result of listening to our customers’ needs, which allows us to plan and cater to future requirements.” Captain G. Aponte, President of Mediterranean Shipping Company said:”
