Mooring of a 15K TEUs in 30 Minutes

Here you are: the perfect mooring of a 15K TEU ship in just 30 minutes after its arrival in the port. It’s easy to time it. The animated gif is made up of 13 photographers that were taken at 150 second intervals. Considering that the ship enters the port in the second photo, the overall total is just thirty minutes.

This is not a once-off occurrence. Moorings are becoming even more quicker at VTE thanks to the perfect organisation and team work that unites our employees with our trusted partners: the Port of Genoa Pilot’s Association, Rimorchiatori Riuniti (Harbour Towage Opators) and the Guppo Antico Ormeggiatori di Genova (Group of Mooring Operators of Genoa).
