Contecon Guayaquil handles its largest container vessel

Contecon Guayaquil S.A. (CGSA), an ICTSI-operated terminal in Ecuador, handled the largest vessel in its history in April.

More specifically, on 4 April, CGSA received the maiden call of the Maersk Camden, a Liberian-flagged vessel with a capacity of 15,413 TEUs.

The 365.9-meter-long ship is deployed on Maersk’s AC2 service, which connects Asia with Latin America through the ports of Lazaro Cardenas, Guayaquil, Balboa, Manzanillo, Shanghai, Ningbo and Busan.

The AC2 service has been running since 2020 and has 21 vessels deployed with 9,500-TEU capacities.
