Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 15 April 2020: On the occasion of its first year anniversary, Khalifa Port’s CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal, has announced it has accomplished over 800,000 hours without lost-injury time (LTI) and surpassed the 540,000 TEU mark since its operational soft launch last April.
Serving as a regional base for COSCO SHIPPING Ports’ global network of 48 terminals, the AED 1.1 billion deep-water, semi-automated container terminal has achieved the important benchmarks after successfully handling 416 vessels, including some of the world’s largest, together with 312,000 cargo movements.
Commencing full operations in November 2019, and with a design capacity of 2.5 million TEU, CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal is the first international greenfield subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Ports, whose parent company, China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited, is the largest integrated shipping enterprise in the world.
The two records, for safety and TEU’s, were simultaneously achieved, ahead of schedule, in February and March respectively.
