New ‘FMX’ Service Launched at Khorfakkan Terminal
DUBAI - Gulftainer, an international ports management and logistics company, has announced a new service at Khorfakkan Container Terminal, or KCT.
The start of the weekly FMX service, which utilises six 4,000TEU ships, coincides neatly with the completion of the stage two expansion at Khorfakkan, which will provide the terminal with more quay length and four new gantries.
Speaking after the maiden call of the ‘Hanjin Gdynia’ last week, the first FMX ship at Khorfakkan, Gulftainer Group Director and General Manager Peter Richards said, “In a difficult year for everyone working in the container shipping industry, it makes a pleasant change to be able to emphasise some positive news. We are delighted that one of our oldest customers at KCT, Hanjin, and their partners have chosen to boost their presence in the region with additional FMX calls at our terminal, which is acknowledged to be the most productive in the entire region — if not the world.”
Gulftainer operates Khorfakkan Terminal on behalf of the Sharjah Ports Authority. KCT is one of the world’s leading container transhipment ports, and is strategically located on Sharjah’s Indian Ocean east coast, outside the sensitive Straits of Hormuz, close to the main east-west shipping routes. Only three hours from the UAE’s main centres of population, Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, KCT is an ideal transhipment hub port with numerous feeder ship connections to Gulf Ports, Iran, India, Pakistan and East Africa. ]
