A 5,090-TEU vessel, part of the fleet of Taiwan's Evergreen Group, became the largest containership to sail in the Adriatic Sea.
The 294-meter Ital Laguna made its first call at Trieste Marine Terminal (TMT) as part of Evergreen's weekly China-Adriatic (ADR) service.
Three other sister ships are set to be phased in to the service to replace smaller ships. The ADR uses seven vessels on a rotation of Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong, Yantian, Tanjung Pelepas, Alexandria, Dekheila, Taranto, Trieste, Koper, Rijeka, Taranto, Tanjung Pelepas and back to Shanghai.
