This new all-time world record — equal to 34,263 TEUs — is 1,385 containers more than the previously held record.
One of the largest ships in the world, the MSC Isabella is part of a new class of 23,000+ TEUs sustainable containerships recently added to the MSC global shipping network. MSC Isabella’s arrival in Los Angeles marks its first time calling at a North American container port.
“This achievement continues to show that the Port of Los Angeles is big-ship steady and can adeptly handle these increasingly bigger cargo lifts,” Gene Seroka, Executive Director at the Port of Los Angeles, commented.
