Vietnam's Cai Mep International Terminal (CMIT) handled nearly 7,000 TEUs of import, export, transshipment and empty containers, setting a new productivity record of 233 containers/hour, with Maersk Emden in the TP6/Pearl service of the 2M Alliance, which connects Vietnam with the US West Coast.
CMIT said this performance enabled Maersk Emden to depart three hours ahead of schedule, facilitating the trade between Vietnam and the United States.
CMIT achieved the productivity record by deploying six STS cranes with an average crane productivity of over 42 containers/hour.
It is important to note that recently on the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) for 348 global container ports by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence, Cai Mep holds the 12th position.
