Throughput grows at International Container Terminal Services Inc.

Container volumes at International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) global facilities grew by 5% to more than 9.15m teu in 2017.

The operator attributed this growth to activity in emerging markets and improvements at facilities in Iraq, Mexico, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Australia.

The Mexican Manzanillo facility welcomed new services in 2017 which boosted throughput, while new terminals in Matadi, DRC and Melbourne, Australia also impacted on container volumes. Excluding the new terminals, ICTSI’s throughput grew by 4%.
