With a capacity of 13,800 TEUs and an overall length of 365m, the vessel is the largest ever to enter the recently expanded terminal. The CMA CGM Christophe Colomb has been built with a combination of innovative environmental features, including an electronically controlled engine to reduce oil and fuel consumption, double hull protection of fuel tanks, and a fast oil recovery system to recover bunkers should there be an incident at sea. KCT is managed by international port management company Gulftainer on behalf of the Sharjah Ports Authority. Located on the east coast of the UAE emirate of Sharjah, KCT boasts 1,900m of quay, 20 gantry cranes, and water depths allowing the largest vessels to enter and operate at the terminal.   Cargonews Asia
