JEBEL ALI Port extension of its Terminal 2 (T2) quay wall
extension foundation has been officially opened, allowing for an additional
capacity of one million TEU and the simultaneous handling of six
next-generation 18,000 TEU.
Its inaugural opening was marked by the arrival of the
14,000-TEU MSC La Spezia to the expanded terminal which now boasts a quay of
3,000 metres from original 400 metres.
"Efficiency is the hallmark that sets Jebel Ali
apart as the region's premier port and the reason why it's been voted the Best
Seaport in the Middle East for 19 years in a row," said DP World chairman
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem. The facility includes its work on Terminal 3 (T3)
that will have a quay length of 1,860 metres, a 70-hectare storage yard with 17
metres alongside.
DP World's Mohammed Al Muallem, senior vice president and
managing director, said its expansion on Terminal 3 (T3) which will have a quay
length of 1,860 metres, a 70-hectare storage yard and a draft of 17 metres aims
to meet market demand.
"With our customers now deploying ultra large
container ships (ULCS), we are working tirelessly to complete the work on
Container Terminal 3 as planned to cater for even more of these giants,"
he added, cited a report from Emirates News Agency.
