Huge increase in Khalifa Port’s 2014 throughput

Khalifa Port Container Terminal (KPCT) in Abu Dhabi has increased its throughput in 2014 by 26% to 1.14m teu.

In 2013, the port was the 118th biggest container port in the world, according to CM’s World Top 120 Container Ports 2014, and it can expect to move significantly up the rankings when it is published again in July.

The port, which began operations in 2012, is characterised by a high level of automation and handles all of Abu Dhabi’s container traffic, after its transfer from the historic city centre Port of Zayed.
