Maersk’s Sendawang puts DCT under pressure

Another of the larger size of containerships to call at Durban was berthed alongside the Durban container terminal (DCT) Pier 2 last week. She was Maersk Line’s Sendawang, a 6 478-TEU capacity vessel, putting the DCT under pressure by discharging 2 853 boxes and loading 3 281. The Sendawang was built in 2007, with a length of 319 metres and a breadth of 40m. The 85 250 tonne deadweight (dwt) vessel is registered in Singapore.
