DUBAI -- DP World , UAE Region has achieved a new vessel productivity benchmark when its state-of-the-art cranes hit a record of 259 berth moves per hour while servicing the container liner MSC Madeleine at its flagship Jebel Ali Port in Dubai recently.Concerted team effort and the port's signature operational efficiencies ensured that 11,722 twenty-foot equivalent container units, or TEU, were handled within 28 working hours, beating previous productivity benchmarks.
The record set during the port call of the 349-metre long MSC Madeleine highlights DP World , UAE Region's leading position as the most efficient marine terminal operator in the Middle East with a focus on constantly improving quay crane rates, which deliver direct benefits to the customers in terms of time and cost saved.
"We have set out to demonstrate to our customers and the industry that we can consistently provide a high quality of service. The new quay crane record set at Jebel Ali Port is a result of all-round team work and we are delighted that our efforts are paying off by directly benefitting our customers," DP World , UAE Region senior vice-president and managing director Mohammed Al Muallem said.
