Embargo on Qatar set to end

The port was expecting a weak February, but at 487,846 TEU container traffic is down more than 50% on the peak month of the pandemic period boom.

Hamad Port’s second container terminal is now fully operational.

Contrecoeur development can proceed, but there are conditions on equipment electrification, noise and the colour of the cranes.

The investigation into a vessel hitting a crane at the Vanterm terminal highlights a need for regulations that include the safe setback of the waterside rail for STS cranes.

Qatar-based terminal operator QTerminals has signed a sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 99.99% of Akdeniz Port in Antalya, Turkey.

Equipment has been ordered and CIT is scheduled to be operational at the end of 2021.
