KHALIFA Port's new CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal in the UAE is celebrating its first year of operations with throughput totalling 540,000 TEU.
The joint venture terminal between China's Cosco Shipping Ports and Abu Dhabi Ports also operated for 800,000 hours without loss injury time (LTI), reported Colchester's Seatrade Maritime News.
The terminal is on a 35-year lease. It started full operations in November 2019 and has a design capacity of 2.5 million TEU annually.
Said Abu Dhabi Ports CEO Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi: "Reaching these milestones is a tremendous achievement for CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal, and demonstrates our commitment to helping position Abu Dhabi as one of the world's premier logistics and trade hubs."
"We are confident that our strategic location, in proximity to Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD), will assist us in creating new opportunities to meet demand and maximise efficiency across the entire supply chain," said CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal deputy CEO Naser Al Busaeedi.
"Our commitment to Khalifa port's ongoing enhancement allows Abu Dhabi to not only increase trade flows to the region, but positions our port as a highly significant hub within China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)," he said.
Over the next 12 months Khalifa port is set to complete the AED2.2 billion (US$599 million) development of its south quay and Khalifa Port Logistics.
