AGCT achieves 2 additional milestones

The Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT) at the Port of Rijeka in Croatia has hit two big milestones! This terminal, operated by International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI), has broken records for both monthly cargo and single-ship cargo exchange.

In July 2024, AGCT set a new monthly record. Now, they’ve managed to increase that by 11%! This new achievement shows how quickly the terminal is growing. It’s a sign that AGCT is handling more and more cargo smoothly.

AGCT also set a record for the most cargo moved from a single ship. In a recent operation, the terminal exchanged 7,120 containers (called TEUs) from the Maersk Huacho. This ship is part of a special shipping group called the 2M Alliance, which includes two big shipping companies:

and the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). The alliance helps connect ports in China and other parts of the Far East directly to ports in the Adriatic, making trade quicker and easier.

But that’s not all! In the same month, AGCT broke another record with the Ocean Alliance, a group of four major shipping companies: CMA CGM, COSCO, Evergreen, and OOCL. They handled 3,193 TEUs, a new high for this group.

Rail transport at the port has also been improving, especially after a problem in the Red Sea earlier this year. Now, almost 41% of all cargo at the terminal is moved by rail. This is good news because it means faster and more efficient movement of goods.
