Congestion and delays hit APMT Mumbai

Update: On 17 April, NYK Line released a statement which said that normal operations have resumed but that APMT Mumbai’s gates are operating very slowly, with truck turnaround times inside the terminal of around six hours.

Gate closures and a shortage of rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) crane operators are contributing to ongoing bottlenecks at the APM Terminals-operated Gateway Terminals India (GTI) in the country’s biggest port, Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNP).

Shipping line, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) issued a statement, confirming that export movements by road to GTI would be closed between 14 April and 8am on 16 April.
