Floridians could see more products on their local store shelves after the arrival of Mediterranean Shipping Company's MSC Rachele.
With the assistance of the Port's three new Super Post-Panamax gantry cranes and one existing Post-Panamax crane, more cargo containers will move across Port Everglades' docks from a single ship then anytime in the Port's history - 4,849 containers, which equates to nearly 9,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units, which is the industry's standard measurement). It will take 72 hours to complete the off-load and loading process on the 1,095-foot-long MSC Rachele. The previous record took place on August 26, 2021, with nearly 3,000 container moves on another MSC ship.
