"We are honored to welcome MINCHAH to Port Everglades on her maiden voyage. Accordia Shipping plays an important role in one of our fastest growing lines of business," said Jonathan Daniels, Port Everglades Chief Executive and Port Director. "They not only contribute to the local economy, but they were one of the first organizations to offer their ships for earthquake relief efforts in Haiti."

With a speed of 20 knots, the 127m long, 11,591gt MINCHAH has a capacity for 1,200 cars. Built in 1997, the Panamanian-flagged vessel also features a hoistable deck that allows Accordia to handle over-sized and heavy cargoes.  

Accordia Shipping has operated out of Port Everglades for five years offering vehicle carrier service to the Haitian ports of Gonaives, St. Marc, Port au Prince and Miragoanne specializing in cars, trucks, heavy equipment, boats, containers on trailers, palettized and breakbulk cargos.
