14,074-TEU CSCL ship makes Zeebrugge call after buying into terminal 

CHINA Shipping Container Lines' (CSCL) containerships have started calling at APM Terminals Zeebrugge after buying 24 per cent of the Belgian container terminal.

The 14,074-TEU CSCL Star, on the AEX7 service loop, was the first China Shipping vessel to call at the terminal, reports UK's Port Technology International.

Said APM Terminals Zeebrugge managing director Mark Geilenkirchen: "This new service adds more supply chain options for importers and exporters in the Hamburg-Le Havre range, and we will apply our high productivity skills to these vessels and the future 18,400 TEU ships from CSCL."

In addition to the Shanghai-based CSCL stake, APM Terminals holds a 51 per cent controlling share in APM Terminals Zeebrugge, with the Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) holding the remaining 25 per cent.
