SP-PSA Port reports record productivity

The SP-PSA International Port in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province has gained record productivity for one container vessel, with an average discharge rate of 106 containers per hour.

The port discharged a record 5,174 TEU from a container ship called the APS Iris, which belongs to APL-NOL, a US marine transport company. The ship has direct weekly service from and to West Coast and Vung Tau.

Managers of APL-NOL and the port expect that the high productivity rate will raise the confidence of both the port’s and ship’s customers.

The province’s Cai Mep Thi Vai estuary has many deep seaport development projects in progress. SP-PSA port, the first deep-sea container terminal operating, has a 600m-berth and a sea depth of 14.5m. — VNS
