Berth of a new era as Dalian rides wave of expansion

The world's largest container ship MOL Triumph berthed on Wednesday at the Dalian Port Container Terminal in Dalian Jinpu New District, Northeast China's Liaoning province.

It is the world's first container ship with a capacity of over 20,000 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units).

"Currently, we have built a batch of world class berths, including a 450,000 metric ton crude oil terminal and a 400,000 ton ore terminal," said Zhang Yiming, president of Dalian Port.
