, which operates the Terminal on behalf of the Sharjah Ports Authority.SCT Manager Paul Hennessy confirms that "we did not see any decline in volume in 2009 and 2010 seems to have started well."Indicative of this consistency is the arrival of a new regular feeder service operated by Yang Ming Lines (YML), whose ‘YM XIAMEN’ is now a regular weekly visitor at SCT.Hennessy welcomes the start of calls by the 350 teu, 107m long vessel. "The ship is easy for us to work and as always, we get first class professional assistance from Yang Ming and their agents. We hope that YML and their customers have a successful 2010 and increased regular business at SCT."Civil works to improve the facilities at SCT are also moving ahead well with the renovation of Berths 1 through 3 newly completed. The modifications include a new, strengthened quay wall, constructed 3 metres seaward of the existing quay wall, to facilitate dredging work; Mobile Harbour Crane power supply sockets installed along the berths, a new 33kv substation, new bollards and fenders installed along the length of the three berths; and a new interlocked quay surface laid between the seaward and landward rails.© Copyright Emirates News Agency (WAM) 2010.
