PAKISTAN's first deep-water container terminal, Hutchison Ports Pakistan, has breached the nation's vessel handling record for the fourth time this year as the terminal operator achieved the milestone, handling 2,683 moves in just over 13 hours on the 8,562-TEU vessel Hyundai Courage.
During the vessel's stay, the terminal achieved a vessel operating rate of 203.4 container moves per hour and a gross crane rate of 32.3. During the call, a total of 3,501 TEU were handled, the Daily Times of Lahore reported.
