The ship is 200 meters long, over 32 meters wide and 10 meters high. It offers 54,000 square meters of space suitable for transporting cars and can accommodate 7,000 cars. The Höegh Shanghai is registered in Oslo, Norway.

Its first load consisted of Nissan cars taken in at the Port of Barcelona. Normally, its cargo will come from the Far East. These ships carry not only cars, but also often car part for Hitachi.

Koopman Car Terminal has concluded a long-term contract with Nissan for loading and unloading Nissan cars at the terminal in Amsterdam, as well as for the transport to car dealerships.

To mark the maiden call, on Friday, March 2, a port representative presented the captain of the Höegh Shanghai with a memento showing the port’s coat of arms.
