Doha, Qatar: QTerminals, a leading port and terminal operator has achieved a significant milestone by handling the highest ever volume of transshipment containers in the first three quarters of this year.

In a post on its X platform, QTerminals noted that it is proud to announce a historic achievement in the first three quarters of 2024 at Hamad Port, handling an unprecedented 254,094 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) of international transshipment containers—marking the highest volume of transshipment containers ever recorded in the port’s history.

This milestone reinforces Hamad Port’s commitment to operational excellence and positions Qatar as a pivotal player in the global maritime logistics landscape, it added.

Hamad Port’s strategic geographical location offers opportunities to create cargo movement towards the upper Gulf, supporting countries such as Kuwait and Iraq, and south towards Oman.

The port keeps moving forward firmly towards a more powerful position as one of the key ports in the Middle East and the region. It targets achieving a more efficient logistics services industry in the country and the transformation into a leading global trade hub, thus enhancing its economic diversification plans in step with the Qatar National Vision 2030.
