Shipping Tuticorin box terminal sets new record Our Correspondent
Madurai , Jan. 2 TUTICORIN Container Terminal (TCT), operated by PSA SICAL Terminals Ltd of PSA International, a leading port operator in the world, has set up a new container handling record by achieving a vessel rate of 103 moves per hour on December 21. The move on Evergreen Marine Corporation's vessel Hatsu Prima which started at 11.55 p.m., ended at 9.45 a.m., on the following day with a total of 1,500 twenty-foot equivalent units of containers, during the vessel's short stay at the terminal. Further, the containers were evacuated out of TCT within 100 hours. The PSA SICAL General Manager, Mr John Quok, said in a press release that this has been the first time for the company to have crossed the 100 moves per hour mark with three cranes deployed in one vessel. This would set Tuticorin Container Terminal apart and `reinforce its position as one of the leading container ports in India'. A day before, it had set a vessel rate of 66 moves per hour and gross crane rate of 34 moves with Zim Line's vessel North Sea, he said.
