APM Terminals Pipavav Sets A High Performance Standard In Ship Movements
APM Terminals Pipavav successfully handled seven ship movements in about five hours with well-coordinated efforts by various expert teams.
This accomplishment is significant as it was reportedly undertaken in a one-way channel. A shipping movement is nothing but a marine operation that involves the unberthing, berthing, or vessels’ shifting operations calling the port for cargo activities. Shipping movement at the port is carried out through the coordinated efforts of the marine pilot, vessel masters and crew members, radio operators of the port control room, mooring gangs, harbour tugs, and a pilot boat.
Commenting on the port’s accomplishment, Jakob Friis Sørensen, the MD at APM Terminals Pipavav, said that the authorities are proud to have achieved a benchmark in marine operations by successfully executing seven ship movements in just five hours. Besides, they are confident about their abilities to pull off such a difficult task and ensure there is no waiting time for the incoming vessels. Our skilled and experienced individuals are the greatest assets and believe in going all out to serve their customers. They endeavour to offer the customers the best services with zero waiting time.
In 2022 (May), APM Terminals Pipavav secured its position as the most efficient port in India in a Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) developed by S&P Global Market Intelligence and the World Bank collaboratively.
The port is ranked 26th globally in CPPI 2021 with a point of 109.823. The agility and flexibility toward customers’ needs, processes designed toward customer centricity, and the port’s safety measures are some of APM Terminals Pipavav’s distinct features that offer an edge over other Ports within the vicinity.
