The berthing of the USNS MENDONCA in the port of Alexandroupolis was announced by the president of the Alexandroupolis Port Authority, Kostas Hatzimichail, in a tweet:
“Further expanding the port’s capabilities with a truly large 290m ship! Another record among the many we have achieved!
In the third photo it can also be seen that at the same pier, 50m away, we are loading durum wheat at the same time!” wrote Mr. Hatzimichail. 
“Docking of the 290m USNS MENDONCA ( @USNavy military logistics & support vessel for the @USAArmy ), the largest ship ever to dock at the port of Alexandroupolis, to load materiel and vehicles returning to the US!” Mr. Hatzimichail had written in his previous post.
