Sohar Port to handle 3 mln TEU

The Sohar Port in Oman would handle an accumulated three million mega containers by the fourth quarter of this year, the port told press on Monday.

“In addition to the accumulated volume of Terminal B over the years, Terminal C is going to handle the three millionth TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) in the last quarter of this year,” said Albert Pang, CEO of Hutchison Ports Sohar, at the 12th anniversary of its operations.

According to him, since the start of Terminal C, the port has “achieved double digit percentages of volume growth year-on-year, ahead of the average growth rate in the Middle East region and globally.”
