The port of Zeebrugge says it has recorded a new draft milestone on Tuesday 18 November. The container vessel MSC San Francisco moored at CSP Zeebrugge with a draft of 16.80 metres, the deepest ever registered in the port. This surpasses the previous records set earlier this year by MSC Olivia and MSC Mina.
The MSC San Francisco operates on the LION service, a direct connection from the Far East with calls in Zeebrugge and subsequently Antwerp. The vessel arrived from Colombo (Sri Lanka) and has a capacity of 16,196 TEU, a length of 366 metres and a beam of 51.09 metres.
This record call illustrates the maritime expertise and operational capability of the port of Zeebrugge. Thanks to continuous investments in infrastructure and nautical accessibility, the port remains well equipped to safely and efficiently accommodate vessels with significant draft.
