Sharjah-based Gulftainer is certainly one of the leading ports management and third-party logistics provider in the United Arab Emirates. One of its renowned terminals in the country is the Khorfakkan Container Terminal, now simply referred to as KCT. It is also the only fully fledged operational container terminal in the area.
For KCT's container terminal operations, Gulftainer has placed an order of four Super Post-Panamax ships to shore gantry cranes and twelve rubber-tyred gantry cranes. The contract (supported by ZPMC's export credit arrangement) was signed by the Senior Vice President of ZPMC and the Group Director of Business Services of Gulftainer, Ramesh Shivakumaran at ZPMC's head office in Shanghai.
A high-level delegation from ZPMC visited Gulftainer's facilities at KCT in March 2013. It was headed by the company's president, Dr. Liu Jianzhong and they were impressed with the volumes and high productivity accomplished by the terminal.
According to Ramesh Shivakumaran's review, KCT is among the fastest container terminals in the world when it comes to productivity. In 2012, the terminal's volume also increased by more than 25 percent.
He also added that ZPMC cranes increase the speed and efficiency of the operations for vessels calling at the terminal. In 2014, the ZPMC's gantry cranes are delivered.
ZPMC will be enthusiastic to become the preferred choice for all port crane requirements for Gulftainer's facilities in the UAE and other foreign countries in the future. The company is also delighted to become a part of Gulftainer's expansion in Khorfakkan Port.
Gulftainer indeed has highly dedicated professionals and Ramesh Shivakumaran proves to be one of them. He is a chartered accountant with a graduate degree in commerce from India. He is also a certified public accountant from the United States.
