Gulftainer has claimed a new record for its Khorfakkan Container Terminal, following a recent visit from the 277 metre-long ‘Diera’ vessel, owned by United Arab Shipping Company (UASC).

The terminal, which is located in Sharjah, was able to achieve 343.3
moves per hour average net for the vessel and 103.8 moves average net
per hour on the heavy hook.

“We are pleased with yet another record performance at KCT, which
illustrates the importance of the ongoing expansion at the terminal,”
said Peter Richards, group director and general manager at Gulftainer.

“We are sure that this excellent productivity helped to improve
schedule integrity for the ‘Deira’, allowing it to meet berthing
windows in other ports and helping UASC to save fuel-oil costs – a
particularly important consideration in these challenging days.”
