Milestone for Moín

Between 80% and 85% of the terminal’s operations involve handling of export products, such as bananas, pineapples, coffee, tubers and melons.

APM Terminals Moín in Costa Rica (TCM) has achieved a 29.8% reduction in vessel port stay time, one and a half years ahead of schedule.

APM Terminals Moín sets the “global benchmark for berthing time”, says port operator. “New Costa Rican model will be replicated at other APM terminals’ facilities to improve efficiency.”

New container terminal is a giant leap forward for Costa Rica’s export economy.

At the end of July, Alfredo Salas, CEO of Costa Rica Shipping Lines and Shipping Agents’ Association (NAVE), complained that one of two new STS container cranes acquired by JAPDEVA, the Moín port authority, had worked properly for only two months since it was commissioned in February this year.
