PSA India enjoys strong finish to 2020 with volume record
Port Technology International — 05 Jan 2021 SharePSA India broke its volume record for the month of December with traffic of 257,347 TEU as it enjoyed a strong finish to the end of 2020.
The
company said PSA Chennai broke its own monthly volume record of 93,514
TEU for the month of December after PSA Mumbai did the same.
Mike Formoso, Managing Director of PSA India, said all PSA
terminals operated uninterrupted throughout 2020 and handled every scheduled
vessel call and other unscheduled ones that had been diverted due to congestion
elsewhere.
The results were released at the same time as the inaugural
call of the M.V. Wan Hai 507, as part of the new joint Wai Han Lines/Interasia
Lines service which increases its connectivity to the Far East.
A Wan Hai Lines spokesman said, “PSA Mumbai is equipped with
the latest technology to offer customers fast turnaround of their vessels and
is also well-connected by major highways and rail networks to key markets in
Maharashtra, Gujarat, and the National Capital Region of India.
“By further strengthening its current service scope among
India and Far East corridors, PSA Mumbai will enhance Wan Hai Lines’ market
coverage to better serve customers’ needs.
“CI2 service is jointly operated with Interasia Lines (IAL)
by using 6 vessels with nominal capacity of 4,250 TEU, 4 deployed by Wan Hai
Lines and 2 vessels by IAL.
“With its friendly working atmosphere, the two services (CI2
and CI6) will now offer better service to customers in Nhava Sheva operating
from PSA Mumbai.”
