Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Oocl-Berlin

On July 17, 2023, history was made at the Port of New York and New Jersey as the OOCL Berlin, a colossal container ship belonging to Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) of Hong Kong and Salt Lake City, Utah, arrived in Newark Bay. With a capacity of 13,208 TEUs, this remarkable vessel is the largest to have ever docked at this key maritime hub, making its way to Maher Terminals Berth 68. Measuring over 1,200 feet—equivalent to four football fields—the OOCL Berlin also holds the distinction of being the largest ship to pass beneath the recently elevated Bayonne Bridge roadway. Prior to this significant event, the largest vessels to call upon the terminals in New York and New Jersey were a mere 1,000 feet long. This monumental arrival signals a new era for the region's shipping capabilities and enhances its standing in global trade.
