Philippines receives largest boxship call
The largest container vessel to ever serve the Philippines recently called at the country's two biggest container ports — Manila and Subic Bay.
The 4,330-TEU APL Bahrain surpassed the previous record vessel, the 3,614-TEU MOL Thames, which made a special call at Manila in 2007.
The vessel was built by Korean shipbuilder Hanjin Heavy Industries at its Subic Bay shipyard. Both calls occurred at terminals managed by International Container Terminal Services Inc., the largest terminal operator in the Philippines.
