First ship on new IMU service calls at KCT

The 4,275 teu, ‘Hanjin Rio De Janeiro’, built in South Korea early last year, is one of four Hanjin ships on the revamped IMU service, which it partners with UASC, covering South Asia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and US East Coast.

Gulftainer Group director and general manager, Peter Richards, commented, “Hanjin, Senator and their partners UASC, are well-established customers of Gulftainer and Sharjah and, as always, we are looking forward to working with them as they enhance their services in the region.”

“KCT is considered to be one of the fastest container terminals in the world and such productivity, with the resultant cost savings, is likely to be more important than ever in the challenging year ahead of us.”
