APM Terminals to abandon two Kaohsiung terminals from October

Kaohsiung Harbour Bureau has revealed that APM Terminals is to abandon one of the two container terminals that it operates at the port.

Berths 118 and 119 will be ditched from October, although the Danish company will continue operating at berths 76 and 77, which forms part of the fifth container terminal.

Traffic handled by Maersk at berths 118 and 119 may well transfer to berth 75, which is currently operated by Hyundai Merchant Marine, whose concession the port authority would reportedly like to amend.
