Qatar's maritime sector saw active traffic between November 18 and December 10 with as many as 109 vessels calling Hamad Port and another 76 at Al Ruwais Port.
The general cargo handled at Hamad Port during the review period stood at 77,584 tonnes and containers were at 84,029 TUEs (twenty-foot equivalent units), Mwani Qatar said in a tweet.
As many as 5,164 RORO (vehicle) units were handled at Hamad Port between November 18 and December 10. A total of 10,000 livestock heads were handled at the port during the review period.
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. It is also the largest eco-friendly project in the region and internationally recognised as one of the largest green ports in the world.
As on December 1, 2022, QTerminals operations at Hamad Port achieved 3mn man-hours without any lost time incident, which highlights safety as the core value of the terminal company.
"The performance of logistics and operational processes at Hamad Port reflects the major development of the port and the constant attention to improving the quality and productivity in the context of Qatar's efforts to ensuring a smooth flow of cargo and materials," Ministry of Transport had earlier said.
The container terminals have been designed to address the increasing trade volume, enhancing ease of doing business as well as supporting economic diversification, which is one of the most important goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
Mwani Qatar also disclosed that the general cargo handled at the Ruwais Port stood at 22,428 tonnes and containers were 1,279 TEUs.
As many as 2,227 livestock heads and 69 vehicles were handled at the port during the review period.
The Doha Port redevelopment project, carried out by the Ministry of Transport to the port's basin and quay, has contributed in boosting its capacity to receive the world's largest cruise ships as the port received three super-size floating hotels during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which is currently underway.
Doha Port boosts efforts to transform Qatar into an attractive regional tourist destination serving global cruise ships, as well as providing the facilities needed for a key contributor to the economic diversity pursued by the QNV 2030.
