Puerto Aguadulce, located on Colombia’s Pacific coast, has reached a new milestone with the recent handling of the APL Fullerton.
The port successfully handled the CMA CGM-operated vessel, which is 398 meters long and 51 meters wide, with a capacity of 19,856 TEU.
This makes it the largest ship to approach Colombia’s coast.
Álvaro Otero, Puerto Aguadulce General Manager, said: “The arrival of this vessel is a testament to our ongoing evolution and adaptation to the demands of global trade.
“This achievement demonstrates that we are prepared to face the challenges of the international market and continue being the preferred terminal on the Colombian Pacific.”
In December 2022, the recent handling of the CMA CGM Argentina, the greatest capacity vessel to arrive in Colombia, saw Puerto Aguadulce reach a new milestone.
