Port of Shanghai
When the class was ordered, no port in the Americas could handle ships of their size. However, the following suitable ports include [[Port of Shanghai|Shanghai]], [[Port of Ningbo|Ningbo]], [[Port of Xiamen|Xiamen]], [[Port of Qingdao|Qingdao]], [[Yantian]], [[Port of Hong Kong|Hong Kong]], [[Port of Tanjung Pelepas|Tanjung Pelepas]], [[Port of Singapore|Singapore]], and [[Port of Colombo|Colombo]] in Asia, and [[Port of Rotterdam|Rotterdam]], [[Port of Gothenburg|Gothenburg]], [[JadeWeserPort|Wilhelmshaven]], [[Port of Bremerhaven|Bremerhaven]], [[Port of Southampton|Southampton]], [[London Gateway]], [[Port of Le Havre|Le Havre]], [[Port of Felixstowe|Felixstowe]], [[Port of Gdańsk|Gdańsk]], [[Port of Antwerp|Antwerp]], and [[Port of Algeciras|Algeciras]] in Europe. The ships will be too large for the [[Panamax|New Panamax]]-sized locks on the [[Panama Canal]], and their main route is expected to be Asia-Europe (through the [[Suez Canal]]). The [[Draft (hull)|draft]] of the Triple E class is , less than the [[Suezmax|SuezMax]] requirement of at beam. Handling equipment at ports was the main constraint on size, rather than the dimensions of canals or straits. The container port handling speed can be 29 moves per hour in Tanger-Med, or 37 in Rotterdam (215 per ship).
