The completion of the expansion works, which commenced three years ago, will increase the terminal’s general cargo throughput to 1.3 million tonnes, multi-purpose area of 25,000 sqm for general cargo and Ro-Ro services, and increase container capacity to 720,000 TEU, with a total of 110,000 sqm of container terminal area.
”The emirate of Fujairah has become a leading international maritime transport centre, due to the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Fujairah, as well as its strategic geographic location, enabling it to attract investment and support the national sustainable development process,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad said.
