2019     Start of operations

  • The aspiration of DP World Posorja in its first year of operation is to move 250,000 to 300,000 teus. Due to its draft level, its projection is to receive neo-post-Panamax vessels, 330 meters in length and which usually carry around 10,000 teus.

  • The new record was achieved after the docking of the container ship “Jean Gabriel”, of the CMA CGM shipping company, a 299-meter-long ship, which after an efficient operation, set sail on March 31, 2021 with a draft of 14. 48 meters, this being the vessel with the greatest depth that has left Ecuador.

 

  • DP World Posorja confirms its leadership in offering cutting-edge technology with the international recognition granted by Furukawa Electric and which places it as one of the ports with the greatest technology on the west coast of South America.
