WILHELMSHAVEN. The “Wilhelmshaven Express”, the latest container ship of the logistics and shipping company Hapag-Lloyd, arrived at Germany’s only deep-water container port on her maiden voyage on 22 July. With a draught of 18 metres, the ship’s class fulfils the nautical requirements for calling at JadeWeserPort as the first port of call in Europe. The box carrier, spanning a length of 399 metres and with a capacity of 23,664 TEU, connects the port on the River Jade with Tangiers, Salalah, Tanjung Pelepas and Ningbo as part of the North Europe 1 service (NE1). The ship is due to be christened in Wilhelmshaven this autumn.
