SSIT was built to handle the largest container vessels, Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) that can carry up to 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) with a deadweight capacity of up to 200,000 tons.
SSIT’s location is the furthest downstream, closest to the river mouth connecting to the open sea. It has a 700-metre safe turning basin, 16.5m depth alongside the main berth, and a deep channel (-15.5m).
