Port Newark Container
Terminal said its average vessel stevedoring production was 28.93 as measured
by adjusted gross moves per hour/per crane, a new record for the terminal for
October.
The record performance
"was a cumulative team effort including a strong contribution from our
International Longshoremen's Association associates. Everyone contributed to
this success,” said Charles Darrell, vice president of operations.
Don Hamm, president of PNCT, said, “Our truck turnaround times have improved to
an all-time low of 37.88 minutes per transaction. The results for the month of
October validated the fact that truck and vessel turnaround times as well as
other operations are attainable.”
The hub also recently opened an
on-site, Agricultural Quarantine Inspection (AQI) facility that processes 70
units on average per month.
