APM Terminals dominant in global productivity ranking APM Terminals Yokohama ranks 1st globally with 150 mph; APM Terminals Mumbai is 6th with 101 mph; APM Terminals Rotterdam is 1st in Europe with 92 mph Arecently released JOC Group study, based upon five years of data collected from 600 terminals at 400 ports and 17 global shipping lines representing 70 per cent of the global liner fleet and over 100,000 port calls, has ranked APM Terminals Yokohama first globally in productivity. APM Terminals Yokohama, which handled 875,000 TEUs in 2012, operated at a productivity level of 150 moves per hour (mph), 26 per cent more than its closest rival. APM Terminals Mumbai, India’s busiest container terminal in 2012 with 1.96 million TEUs handled and representing 20 per cent of the country’s total container throughput, ranked 6th globally overall, and 1st among terminals working vessels of less than 8,000 TEUs capacity, with 101 mph. APM Terminals Rotterdam, one of the busiest terminals in Europe, which handled 2.5 million TEUs in 2012, ranked 14th globally with 92 mph, and 1st in the Europe/Middle East/Africa geographic category designated by the study. The Port of Salalah, operated by APM Terminals, ranked 7th in the region with 72 mph. It handled 3.65 million TEUs in 2012. Salalah also ranked 6th among global transhipment ports. In the Americas geographic region, APM Terminals Port Elizabeth, at the Port of New York and New Jersey, ranked 2nd with 82 mph. The terminal handled 1.1 million TEUs in 2012. The study noted that terminal efficiency has become an increasingly important aspect in shipping lines’ operational calculus, as schedule integrity and fuel costs have become much more significant factors in achieving customer satisfaction as well as a healthy bottomline. Mr Dennis Olesen, APM Terminals Global Head of Operations, was also cited in the whitepaper study, which will become an annual feature of the well-known US-based industry publication, which includes the Journal of Commerce and the PIERs data service. "Terminal efficiency is a shared challenge, but it’s important for our customers—the shipping lines themselves—to know that while we are pleased with our very strong showing here in this study, we are committed to improving our productivity as a continuous process in every part of the world," noted Mr Olesen.
