RSGT Bangladesh has achieved a landmark milestone in vessel productivity, recording up to 58 moves and 82 TEUs per hour while handling MV WANEN, a CMA CGM vessel, at Patenga Container Terminal on 10 September 2026.
The achievement represents almost double the historical productivity level at Chattogram Port, traditionally averaging around 30 moves/48 TEUs per hour, reads a press release.
The milestone follows the successful commissioning and deployment of RSGT Bangladesh’s advanced Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, marking the terminal’s first gearless vessel operation using the new equipment.
A new benchmark for Bangladesh
The record demonstrates the impact of modern equipment, international terminal expertise, advanced operating practices, and a highly skilled workforce.
The significantly higher productivity is expected to deliver shorter vessel port stays, improved berth utilization, and lower vessel-related costs, while enhancing efficiency across Bangladesh’s maritime supply chain.
Erwin Haaze, chief executive officer, RSGT Bangladesh said, reaching 58 moves/82 TEUs per hour is more than a productivity achievement – it demonstrates the potential of modern port operations in Bangladesh.
This milestone reflects what can be achieved through world-class technology, international experience, disciplined operations, and a dedicated workforce.
