New MSC Service Handled at T3 Berth

On April 5, 2025, Baltic Hub – the largest and fastest-growing container terminal in the Baltic Sea – welcomed for the first time a new service from the shipowner Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) called Britannia, connecting the Far East with Europe. As part of this service, the large ocean-going vessel MSC ROSE arrived at the terminal.

MSC ROSE, measuring 364 meters in length, 51 meters in width, and with a capacity of 15,486 TEU, was handled at the new T3 quay. The voyage of MSC ROSE includes the ports of Shanghai, Ningbo, Yantian, Vung Tau, Singapore, Colombo, Felixstowe, Antwerp, and Gdansk.

Althtugh the T3 terminal will be fully operational at the end of 2025, the newly constructed quay, equipped with new state-of-the-art STS cranes, already enables test operations handling the largest vessels in the world.

“The call of MSC ROSE and its handling as the new Britannia service at the T3 berth confirms the significance of this investment for the future of shipping and logistics in Central and Eastern Europe. Baltic Hub is continuously evolving and supporting its clients in further development while maintaining the highest operational and safety standards,” commented Jan Van Mossevelde, CEO of Baltic Hub.

T3 Terminal – Investment in the Future

The new T3 terminal, built on an area of 36 hectares, is connected to the existing infrastructure of terminals T1 and T2, creating one large complex of three deepwater quays with storage yards.

T3 represents new growth opportunities for Baltic Hub customers – more quay meters, new cranes, and additional hectares of storage yards. Upon completion of the investment, Baltic Hub will offer more than 124 hectares of operational area, approximately 2.1 km of deepwater quay, 21 STS cranes, 74 yard cranes (RMG and RTG), as well as the already existing modern rail terminal with seven tracks of 750 meters in length and the long-established automated truck gate complex. As a result, Baltic Hub will become one of the largest container terminal complexes in Europe, with an annual handling capacity of 4.5 million TEU.
