Salalah Port achieves new general cargo record

12/10/2015 08:04 AST

A new record achieved at Port of Salalah for the second time in 2015 at the general cargo terminal by handling 1,211,569 metric tons in September 2015. This new record breaks the previous one of 1,187,561 metric tons that was set in June 2015.

Port of Salalah CEO David Gledhill said about this, “The achievement is not easy to accomplish in this industry and requires a great deal of collaboration, planning, and modern management that makes necessary machinery available for such an accomplishment.”

The GCT handled over 10 million metric tons of cargo in 2014 and is expected to handle over 12 million in 2015.

The port is one of the most important ports in the region due to the strategic location that connects west to East, which saves time and cost.
