It’s October 4th, the Day Green Ibérica Will Return to the office!

It’s October 4th, the Day Green Ibérica Will Return to the office!

The months of containment, safekeeping and self-protection have been long. Times when life as we knew it remained suspended.

After some “false starts”, false hopes and a few steps back, it seems we are finally able to get back to the right path: forward. The conditions seem to be in place for a “new normal”, more like the old one – because not everything that is new is good.

With this, and taking all the necessary precautions, we are ready and Green Ibérica will return to our facilities. The long-awaited return will be on the 4th of October, and we will follow all the rules, so that it can be done safely!

We will meet again, but not everything will be the same. Because this still have to be a responsible return, adapted to a new reality, despite being an important step in the right direction.

We believe that, during the last few months, we were able to deliver our services effectively, without being felt that we were with a part of the team in a teleworking regime.

This is the time to take a step forward, it’s time to get back to base!

EVER ACE, the Largest Container Carrier in the World, Beats the World Record for Cargo Carried!

EVER ACE, the Largest Container Carrier in the World, Beats the World Record for Cargo Carried!

EVER ACE, which recently became the largest containership to cross the world’s seas, also broke the record for transported cargo, on its maiden voyage in the Suez Canal, with 21,718TEU! That’s 285TEU more than the previously recorded maximum!

Since it was its maiden voyage, and because of its unique dimensions, it was closely observed by the Suez Canal Authority, as is usual in these circumstances.

According to the Suez Canal Authority, following its protocols for large ships, especially on its maiden voyages, chief guides were sent to receive and welcome the ship. In addition, a group of senior authority guides, and a tugboat, were assigned to provide additional navigation support while the main traffic office and guide stations, monitored the EVER ACE’s progress during transit.

The head of the Suez Canal Authority, Lieutenant-General Rabie, took the opportunity to highlight the cooperation between that authority and EVERGREEN. The long relationship with EVERGREEN was highlighted with the approximately 210 ships of the Line that transited through the channel in the last 12 months, representing more than 31 million tons. In 2021, around 145 ships belonging to the shipping company, with a total net tonnage of approximately 22 million tons, already passed through the channel.

EVER ACE Features

The first of 12 containerships of the new “A-Class” category, and the first “Megamax-24” in the EVERGREEN fleet (the remaining will be delivered during this and the next year of 2022), have 23 992 TEU, 400 meters long, 62 meters wide and deadweight of 225,000 tons. These new megamax ships are equipped and powered with exhaust gas purifiers. To add to all that, this vessel is equipped with an 11-cylinder WinGD X92B diesel engine, that drives the ship at speeds of up to 22.5 knots.
