KMCT's terminal (hereafter, "the Tml No.6") has four berths (nos.108-111). Their total length is 1,500 meters and the hinterland depth is 475 meters, whereas the designed draft is -16.5 meters, making it the deepest terminal in Kaohsiung port. Besides, Tml No.6 is one of the few terminals in Kaohsiung port that can serve the mammoth container vessels. Tml No.6 is very close to Kaohsiung 2nd entrance. This means vessels can save berthing time.
The Tml No.6 at present is still under construction and is planned to become operational in two phases. In phase I two berths, nos.108 and 109, will be completed and commence operations by 2011/1/1. In Phase II berths nos.110 and 111 will be operated by Sept. 2013. |
