San-Nicolas-Maersk Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

A significant drug bust occurred at the Port of Santos on September 18, 2016, when authorities discovered 322 kilograms of cocaine hidden in a container aboard the 'Cap San Nicolas.' The container, which was destined for Le Havre, raised suspicions, leading to a thorough inspection by law enforcement agencies. Fortunately for the shipping company, the crew had no involvement in the illicit activities, allowing the vessel to continue its voyage as planned without delay.

The maritime world anticipates a significant milestone as the 9,669 TEU container ship CAP SAN NICOLAS prepares for her maiden arrival in Brazil on the 17th. This impressive vessel will eclipse the recently established record held by the VALOR, which has a capacity of 8,872 TEU. The arrival of CAP SAN NICOLAS in South America marks a notable advancement in maritime shipping capacity.
