The Sri Lanka Port Authority (SLPA) has proudly announced the call of the Ever Arm, a colossal 24,000 TEU container vessel, at the Colombo East Container Terminal (CECT). This Taiwanese-flagged giant marks a significant milestone for the Port of Colombo, which is the busiest port in South Asia. The Ever Arm is an impressive 400 meters long and 60 meters wide, with a substantial summer draft of 17.027 meters. Its advanced propulsion system not only enhances operational efficiency but also maximizes its cargo capacity. Built by Samsung Heavy Industries Ltd at their Geoje shipyard in 2022, this mega vessel boasts a gross tonnage of 235,579 and a deadweight capacity of 241,960 metric tons. The successful docking of the Ever Arm at CECT was facilitated by the terminal’s state-of-the-art 55-meter-high ship-to-shore cranes, ensuring smooth and efficient operations for this enormous vessel.
