It may not be a record, but it surely is a mark which may well be displayed close to the best performances of the best container terminals around the world: 77 movements/hour was the productivity reached by TCL when operating the ship “Thira”.
The ship from MSC was in Leixões on the 11th of May and a few more than 11 hours were enough to handle its cargo. The operation began at 8:31 am and was already concluded at 7:59 pm.
In total, 1,268 TEU were discharged/loaded.
Statistically, 77 containers were, in average, handled per each hour of effective work!
“Thira” was the Ship of the 19th week.
