PORT TARANAKI FIRST LONGEST VESSEL BERTH!
$20 Million Harbour Deeping Project in Port Taranaki New Zealand, has had its first longest vessel berth, on Saturday November 24th 2007 in it's Panamax Port .
Maersk Duffield 45,803 gross tonne container carrier, 289 metres broke the record for the longest vessel ever to berth at New Plymouth.
It all went smoothly, a very large crowd watch as it came in at Blyde Terminal at Port Taranaki and the captain was enjoying seeing all the people that as he entered the port, he gave several blasts on the horn to celebrate which was a bit unusual for the port, but it will live in the mermories of the crowd as the first longest vessel to berth in Port Taranaki..
Captain John Ireland was the Port Taranaki Pilot responsible for guiding the Vessel to berth.
