The ship MEHUIN of CSAV and belonging to the ASAX service (Far East) and which also integrates CMA-CGM and CHINA SHIPPING, docked at MONTEVIDEO on 29/01 at 00:30 hrs ending operations on 30/01 at 17:00 hrs.
The Mehuin has a LENGTH of 306 mts and 40 mts of SLEEVE and made about 2.700 movements (1300 of loading and 1400 of unloading of full, transits and empty), which means a record ship for our port and, of course, for MONTECON that was its operator.It had a productivity of approximately 68 cntrs./hour, although at times it reached 80 movements, which was carried out with simultaneous work of 5 hands (cranes) highlighting the GM 07 super postpanamax mobile crane (Liebherr 600) which is the largest mobile crane in the world and arrived at MONTECON in October 2012. The 2nd mobile crane of these characteristics is expected for April-May this year, which shows the commitment of its shareholders to invest in these and in everything that can generate and ensure this type of operation. The ship operated in docks 8 and 9, another detail to be taken into account due to the size of the ship and the size of the operation.Beyond the description of the operation, it is important to highlight the fact that this ship was, in terms of the number of movements, the record ship of the port of MONTEVIDEO with due satisfaction on our part for having been able to carry out an operation adjusted to these times and to the future of mega ships-operations.
