APMT Pipavav handles over 200 Port Moves Per Hour on boxship, setting new benchmark

APM Terminals Pipavav (GPPL) has marked a new record by successfully achieving over 200 Port Moves Per Hour (PMPH) on a single vessel for the first time in the history of the port operations.

On 17 August 2023, the port carried out 880 moves, achieving an impressive PMPH rate of 215.51 on the 4,800 TEU, 2007-built container ship MOL Endowment. Also, this accomplishment encompassed 52.59 Crane Moves Per Hour (CMPH), saving 23 minutes of Vessel Idle Time (VIT), leading to the savings of 9.09 port hours compared to its baseline.

This translates in improving the vessel turnaround time by 69% over the previous call, demonstrating APM Terminals Pipavav’s unmatched efficiency in managing vessel operations.

“This achievement marks a significant milestone in the port’s operational excellence journey, showcasing its commitment in providing unparalleled service,” noted APM Terminals in a statement.
