PSA Mumbai exceeds 2 million TEU mark

PSA Mumbai, based in Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNP) in Maharashtra,

has handled over 2 million TEU in 2023.

Container volume increased by 30 per cent year-on-year (YoY) throughout the

year, with the terminal processing over 2,000 container rakes and docking 834

ships.

To commemorate this significant milestone, PSA Mumbai hosted a grand

celebration on 5 January 2024, attended by esteemed customers, government

officials, and industry associations.

The terminal has reportedly invested substantially in state-of-the-art

equipment, advanced digital systems, and training to optimise efficiency and

productivity.

Phase 2 of PSA Mumbai is anticipated to be operational by the first quarter

of 2025. This expansion is scheduled to create new opportunities for the

Export-Import (EXIM) community to leverage the new facilities and support the

growth of the Indian logistics sector.

Vincent Ng, PSA’s Regional CEO of Middle East and South Asia, stated: “With

a staggering 30 per cent year-over-year growth, PSA Mumbai joined an elite club

of container terminal models in 2023 after handling 2 million TEU in a single

year. In addition to its extraordinary expansion, PSA Mumbai has led the way in

creative and ground-breaking sustainability projects.

“Without the assistance of its numerous stakeholders, PSA Mumbai would not

have been able to succeed. For this reason, I would like to sincerely thank

JNPA.”

Gobu Selliaya, CEO PSA India, said: “With unwavering commitment and

dedication, PSA Mumbai has reached the remarkable milestone of handling 2

million TEU within six years of operations.

“This achievement is a testament to our relentless pursuit of operational

excellence and the trust placed in us by partners and customers. As we celebrate

this achievement, we look forward to continue setting new benchmarks and

delivering exceptional value to support India’s supply chain and economic

growth.”

This month, PSA Mumbai reached a significant milestone in its emissions

reduction path with the commissioning of its 7.8 megawatt (MW) solar farm with

O2 Power.
