Gulftainer records a 10% increase in 2010 volumes

As Gulftainer’s managing director, Peter Richards explained, “We had always hoped that in 2010 we would start to see the world economy beginning its recovery from the major downturn in 2008 and 2009. Our decision, together with our colleagues in Sharjah Port Authority to expand our facilities (particularly at Khorfakkan), proved to be well-founded as we have been able consistently to deliver the performance that lines needed to save time and money in good times and bad”.

According to the company, KCT arguably continues to be the world’s fastest working container terminal whether handling smaller ships or 13,000 teu leviathans, which can be accommodated and handled promptly and productively in a location optimally located to serve the Gulf and Indian Ocean.
