PSA Mumbai Sets New Record for Highest Container Throughput in Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNP)
Mumbai, India -PSA Mumbai, one of the five container terminals operating at JNP, has set a record by handling 1,94,708 Twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) in August 2023. This is the highest monthly container throughput ever handled by a single terminal in the entire JNP, surpassing the previous record of 1,90,709 TEU set in January 2018.
Since its inception in February 2018, PSA Mumbai has managed to achieve a cumulative handling of 6 million TEU within a short span of 5 years and 6 months. This exceptional performance has continued apace with a 37% year-on-year growth to date in 2023. Currently, PSA Mumbai accounts for 35% of the entire container traffic flowing through JNP and approximately 10% of India’s total container traffic.
The remarkable growth trajectory of PSA Mumbai has been made possible by the strong support from our customers in entrusting an increasing number of services to call at the terminal.
This achievement is a testament to the terminal's commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction. PSA Mumbai has consistently invested in state-of-the-art infrastructure and advanced technologies to continually enhance our operational efficiency and productivity.
To ensure that PSA Mumbai continues to be the terminal of choice in JNP, the terminal began its Phase 2 capacity expansion on 18th April 2022, which involves the construction of an additional 1 km of quay (berth) and 44 hectares of stacking yard. This expansion will effectively double the terminal's existing current capacity, enabling it to handle 4.8 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) by the first quarter of 2025 and enable PSA Mumbai to play its part in supporting the growth of the Indian economy.
PSA Mumbai extends gratitude to JNPA, JNCH, Shipping Line Customers, Port users, and other stakeholders for their support and cooperation.
