Ports & Cargo Handling Services Limited (PCHSL), a member of Sifax Group and concessionaire of Terminal C of the Tin-Can Island Port, Apapa, has added a new client to its growing clientele list as MOL Liner Limited, recently made its maiden call at the terminal with MV MOL NALA vessel.

While welcoming the vessel and its crew to the terminal, John Jenkins, managing director of Ports & Cargo, who expressed the company’s delight at the vessel’s maiden call at the terminal, stated that the development is a testimony to the fact that the terminal is ready to welcome more clients.

“It’s a good feeling having this ship berth at our terminal. We are delighted that MOL, which is one of the world’s largest ocean shipping fleet owners, would prefer our terminal for their operations. This does not come as a surprise to us as we have invested heavily, over the years, in both equipment and quality personnel to handle such vessels. This has set our terminal apart,” he said. According to him, Ports and Cargo business relationship with MOL is one of several partnerships, the company consummated over the last few months. “Recall that Evergreen Line also made its maiden call at the terminal few weeks ago. We are not only providing quality services to existing clients but also strive daily to partner with new shipping lines across the world. ”

Responding on behalf of the vessel’s crew members, S.M.N Jahangir, captain of vessel, who was overwhelmed by the hospitality and excellent service provided by the company, expressed joy at berthing at one of Africa’s prime ports.

“This is a resounding welcome we have received here today and it would stick in our memories wherever we sail to. Though we are sailing back very soon, but cannot wait to be back here again,” he added.
