BAHRAIN's Khalifa Bin Salman Port (KBSP) has been celebrating ten years of operation over which period container volumes have grown by 54 per cent, ro-ro traffic by 27 per cent, and general and bulk cargo by 87 per cent.
The port's annual throughput in 2018 was 432,432 TEU, up 54 per cent against its first full year of operations.
One year ago APM Terminals Bahrain converted into a listed company and has since been listed on the Bahrain Bourse. It now has 700 shareholders, reported The Maritime Standard, Dubai.
The port is preparing for the next phase of its development with APM Terminals Bahrain and the Kingdom's Department of Ports and Maritime Affairs working closely to optimise operational efficiencies within the port to satisfy future demand.
There are plans to develop tailored supply chain solutions services for landside customers, introducing digital solutions such as online access control, e-payment solutions and vessel traffic management systems. The port further aims to secure project cargo imports for industrial projects.
