The first in Korean container line HMM's new series of eight 16,000 teu containerships the HMM Nuri made its maiden call at the Port of Hamburg.

The HMM Nuri called at HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai – CTB on Saturday as part of THE Alliance’s Far East 4 service.

“We are delighted that the ‘HMM NURI’ was able to complete her maiden voyage to Hamburg without technical problems. Release of the first stage of the fairway adjustment of the Elbe makes the approach by our mega-ships to Hamburg significantly simpler to manage, and we can also plan more import and export cargo on our ships in the Port of Hamburg,” Jan Baumgarten, Global Key Account Coordinator and Hamburg representative of HMM European Headquarters London in Hamburg.
