CMA CGM Orfeo sets record at Khorfakkan
THE 9,700 teu, 350 m long CMA-CGM Orfeo recently berthed at Gulftainer’s Khorfakkan Container Terminal, the largest containership to date at the United Arab Emirates east coast port, writes Dominic Ellis in Dubai. Gulftainer claims volumes were “much higher” in the first half of the year, which the company attributed to lines choosing to route cargo through KCT to the Sharjah Inland Container Depot and bypassing other congested UAE ports and roads.
