This feat was last seen in the 2017/2018 financial year, when the operator achieved 101 871 TEUs which remains a current record.

The terminal operator said it has seen consistent performance improvements since the implementation of the Recovery Plan.

“TPT has also been exceeding targets for the arrival, berthing and departure of vessels, in line with its shipping agreements and there have been no vessel backlogs and delays across port terminals nationwide,” TPT said.
