PSA Mumbai sets record handling highest August number of boxes
PSA Mumbai, one of the five container terminals operating at Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNP), has set a record by handling 1,94,708 TEU in August, reports New York's Maritime Professional.
This is the highest monthly container throughput ever handled by a single terminal in the entire JNP, surpassing the previous record of 1,90,709 TEU set in January 2018.
Since its inception in February 2018, PSA Mumbai has achieved a cumulative handling of six million TEU within a span of five years and six months. This has continued with a 37 per cent year-on-year growth to date in 2023.
Currently, PSA Mumbai accounts for 35 per centof the entire container traffic flowing through JNP and 10 per cent of India's total container traffic.
The terminal began its Phase 2 capacity expansion on April 18, 2022, which involves the construction of an additional one km of quay and 44 hectares of stacking yard. This expansion will effectively double the terminal's existing current capacity, enabling it to handle 4.8 million TEU by the first quarter of 2025.
