06 Mar 2026 CW Team

The expansion follows a series of capacity enhancements and operational measures that have been implemented across terminals to improve turnaround times and berth productivity. Increased coastal shipping and steady demand from industrial customers contributed to higher container and bulk traffic, according to the company statement. Logistics efficiencies and improved hinterland connectivity were cited as supporting factors for the trend. Operational collaborations with shippers and incremental scheduling adjustments were highlighted as contributing to more consistent berth utilisation across several terminals.

Management indicated that technology adoption and targeted capital expenditure had started to yield measurable benefits in handling efficiency and slot utilisation. The company said focused investments in cranes, yard automation and digital systems had helped reduce dwell time and enhance scheduling across its facilities. These measures were presented as part of a broader plan to sustain throughput growth. Executives also pointed to improved forecasting and cargo mix optimisation as factors that reduced congestion and improved revenue per call.

Analysts noted that sustained volume increases would help reinforce the port operator's competitive position in the domestic maritime sector and support long term revenue visibility. APSEZ indicated it would continue to prioritise network optimisation, customer service and sustainability in its operations. The company confirmed that monitoring of demand trends would guide future capacity additions.
