Khorfakkan terminal takes 39th slot worldwide
Abu Dhabi, June 8, 2010 - The latest figures produced by the respected transport and shipping analysts Dynaliners (Dynamar BV in the Netherlands), reveal that Gulftainer's Sharjah Container Terminals (in particular the flagship Khorfakkan) have moved dramatically up the list of major terminal operators in 2009.
Almost uniquely, in what was for the industry in general a very challenging year, Gulftainer's volumes actually rose substantially and now, with a total of 2.75 M teu throughput, Sharjah/ Khorfakkan has risen to position number 39 in the ‘league table' of major worldwide terminals.
Gulftainer Group Managing Director Peter Richards commented, "Knowing that 2009 was going to be a particularly difficult time for the industry, we worked even harder at delivering the best levels of performance to our shipping line customers at a time when they really needed assistance. Our efforts were supported by their faith in us, as they moved more containers via Khorfakkan in particular to the surrounding region - for which our terminal is the optimum gateway.
Gulftainer Group has over 30 years' experience operating in the UAE and around the world, and currently operates two UAE ports on behalf of the Sharjah Port Authority - Khorfakkan Container Terminal and Sharjah Container Terminal - as well as Ruwais in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Gulftainer's logistics subsidiary, Momentum Logistics, was established in 2008 to take over the Group's transportation and logistics business and has offices throughout the Middle East. – Emirates News Agency, WAM
