Gulftainer achieves record volumes

After two successive years when Gulftainer’s UAE container terminals – Khorfakkan Container Terminal (KCT) and Sharjah Container Terminal (SCT)– experienced significant growth of around ten percent per annum, the Sharjah-based international ports and logistics company is anticipating further successes in 2011.


After adding three new services – two at KCT and one at SCT – in the first quarter of the year, Gulftainer achieved record volumes at the two terminals in April, experiencing its highest ever monthly throughputs. All of this bodes well for the future as business in the region continues to flourish and supply chains focus even more on safe and efficient regional gateways such as KCT, in particular.


Speaking of the achievement, Gulftainer Group Managing Director Peter Richards said, “We’ve had a good start to the year and these record-breaking April volumes are further confirmation that the regional economies are expanding, particularly with the upsurge in investments in infrastructure and development in recent months, and also that lines and their customers vote with their feet, using the safe and cost-saving Gulftainer terminal options in the region”.
