Volumes at Gulftainer Terminals Increase by 15 Per Cent in 2008
DUBAI — Leading regional port management and logistics firm, Gulftainer, has announced that volumes at its terminals in the UAE — Khorfakkan Container Terminal (KCT) and Sharjah Container Terminal (SCT) — grew by over 15 per cent in 2008, compared with 2007 volumes, to reach 2,501,829 teu, reflecting increasing customer confidence in the company in these difficult times.
Commenting on the increase, Gulftainer Group Director and General Manager Peter Richards said, “We are all delighted that these record volume levels have been handled by our terminals — and even more proud of the fact that this achievement reflects the growing faith that lines and traders throughout the UAE have in our ability to deliver fast, efficient and economical performance.”
“Naturally, our shipping line customers have always demanded the best from us and we continually seek to ensure this is what they get,” Richards continued, “As 2008 drew to a close, with the wide-ranging effects of the global financial crisis making themselves felt across all sectors, it was clear that these quality aspects of the services we deliver — particularly fast performance, flexibility and cost savings — will be even more necessary in the challenging months to come.” “We are grateful for the increasing support we are receiving from the lines, and with the outstanding co-operation from our friends and colleagues in Sharjah ports and customs, we look forward to working with them in 2009 to deliver the best, most cost-effective terminal and transport services in the region,” he concluded.
