Khalifa Port Container Terminal named 3rd fastest growing port
Khalifa Port Container Terminal (KPCT), managed and operated by Abu Dhabi Terminals, has been rated as being among one of the fastest growing container ports in the world. These recognitions are established within 3 years of operation and come closely at the heels of the scale and expansion of KPCT, the company said in its press release.
The Top 120 World Container Ports ranking lists KPCT as the 3rd fastest growing container port in the world and the fastest growing port in the Middle East based on its 26% volume growth in 2014. Published since 2005 by Container Management magazine, KPCT entered the list last year by earning a spot in the top 10 of fastest growing container ports; a result which now has increased tremendously and confirms the strategic position played by Abu Dhabi in the context of global shipping.
Abu Dhabi Terminals attributed its rapid growth to the significant expansion of the Abu Dhabi industry as well as a substantial increase in the role it plays in regional transshipment combined with a steady rise in shipping lines calling at KPCT.
