The OOCL France has set a new record as the largest ship to transit the Expanded Panama Canal since its inauguration nearly one year ago.
Expanded waterway:
The new record comes less than a month after the COSCO Development became the first 13,000 TEU containership to use the expanded waterway.
Largest containership:
The vessel went on to set the soon-to-be-broken record as the largest containership to visit the U.S. east coast.
According to the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), Hong Kong-flagged OOCL France measures 366.47 meters in length by 48.23 meters in beam and has a total TEU allowance (TTA) of 13,926 twenty-foot containers, or 13,208 TEU based on OOCL’s website.
