Mega vessels call at Abu Dhabi terminal

Khalifa Port’s CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal, the container terminal built and operated by China’s Cosco Shipping Ports in partnership with Abu Dhabi Ports, has received two of the world’s largest container vessels within less than a month. Cosco Shipping’s 21,000 teu Solar and 20,000 teu Pisces are the third and fourth main line vessels respectively to pass through the terminal since it started trial operations on 20th April. The arrival of the ships, which started their journeys from Qingdao in China, underlines Abu Dhabi’s position as a major trade hub within China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
