RSGT sets new container-handling record at Patenga terminal

 
RSGT Bangladesh has set a new record for container handling at Patenga Container Terminal (PCT) in Chattogram, achieving a peak rate of 72 container moves and 122 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per hour, surpassing its previous record set in September.

The new record was achieved on October 18 during operations involving the CMA CGM vessel MV AMOUREUX. The terminal handled 1,524 containers, equivalent to 2,571 TEUs, in 21 hours.

The latest performance marks a significant improvement over the previous record of 58 moves and 82 TEUs per hour, set in September following the commencement of ship-to-shore crane operations at the terminal in August.

CMA CGM management praised RSGT Bangladesh for its operational performance, according to a company statement.

Nabil Youssef, chief operating officer of RSGT Bangladesh, said the company remained committed to improving operational efficiency and maintaining international standards.

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to setting new benchmarks in operational excellence, upholding the highest global standards, and driving sustainable growth to strengthen Bangladesh’s position in the global maritime industry,” he said.
