The 16,000-TEU CMA CGM Jules Verne made its maiden call at HIT today.[14 May 2013 – Hong Kong] The 396-metre 16,000-TEU CMA CGM Jules Verne made its maiden call at Hongkong International Terminals Limited (HIT) today, loading and unloading more than 700 boxes. This is the third 16,000-TEU mega-vessel to call at HIT since the CMA CGM Marco Polo made its maiden call last November, and the second this month. These calls from mega-vessels show HIT’s ability to handle them as well as global shipping lines’ confidence in HIT’s operational efficiency.

HIT has fully restored its port operations and shipping schedules following the end of the labour dispute on 7 May.
