MS port adds new Dole vessels

GULFPORT, Miss. – The Port of Gulfport welcomed Dole Food Company's newest container vessels, the “MV DOLE MAYA” and the “MV DOLE AZTEC” to Gulfport. The two new state-of-the-art vessels can accommodate 900+ reefer containers (FEUs) and are equipped with machinery that is not only very economical in fuel consumption but also meets the strict present-day emission mandates that demand a substantial reduction in pollution. Dole has operated a terminal in Gulfport since January 1965, and leases 31 acres on the port’s West Pier. Dole Food is a leader in the production and delivery of fresh produce.
