Yesterday, the containership “Ever Arm”, the largest containership, in terms of TEU capacity, docked at the port of Piraeus.
The 400-meter-long ship was built this year in South Korea and belongs to the Taiwanese shipping company Evergreen Marine Corporation, one of the largest containership companies in the world.
The “Ever Arm” can carry 23992 TEU and docked in Piraeus at noon on Wednesday. However, it is not the largest containership in the world as the Evergreen A-Class vessel named ‘Ever Alot’ has a capacity of 24004 TEU.
