In a statement, PTP said the berths, each 360 metres long, will add 720 metres to the existing 720 metres, giving a total of 1,440 metres of linear quay length. Remaining works, it said, are focused on three blocks of the container yard behind berths three and four.

With the new berths, PTP said, it now offers increased flexibility to shipping lines with a guarantee of berth availability. The container yard will also see a total of 14,750 ground slots available ensuring no bottlenecks occur in the yard area.
