Hactl notches up three new records in first week of November
THE first week of November has turned out to be an eventful seven days for Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) with the company's complex at Chek Lap Kok smashing three records.
In its giant SuperTerminal 1 facility, Hactl handled 31,280 tonnes of exports, beating its previous weekly record of 30,593 tonnes in November 2016. In the same week, its overall total of 42,471 tonnes of cargo handled through the terminal beat its previous weekly best of 41,926 tonnes, also set in November last year.
Meanwhile, on the ramp, Hactl handled a staggering 102 freighters in a single day on 5 November - edging past its previous best of 101 freighters handled in a day, recorded on November 23 last year, the company said.
Hactl chief executive Mark Whitehead said: "2016 was a year of records for Hactl, largely fuelled by the boom in Q4 resulting from the collapse of Hanjin. We have had no such extraordinary event to boost volumes in 2017, yet our 100 client carriers are all performing strongly and helping us to set new records.
"Our work on developing e-commerce export traffic via Hong Kong is clearly playing a part in the overall picture, and we are delighted to be able to contribute to our airline customers' continuing success."
