YANGSHAN FIRST HALF

Yangshan Harbour in Shanghai, which opened for business in December last year, has reported traffic of 1.27m teu in the first six months of this year.

MECys project manager Yongdae Kim said: “The customer had already planned this project with another navigational simulator manufacturer for almost nine months. But the faultless performance of Navi-Trainer 4000 and the impressive references offered by Transas Group for their navigational simulators encouraged Haeyoung Maritime Service Co.

Yangshan is designed to have an annual handling capacity of over 3m teu.

When the whole development project is fully completed in 2020, Yangshan will have a total of 50 berths and the annual throughput of the port is expected to reach 15m teu.
