A fully cellular container vessel unloaded the millionth TEU. It was also draped in commemorative tarpaulins so as to represent the milestone that had been acheived in Costa Rica Caribbean.
While the operation was going on, the six gantry cranes of Moin Container Terminal worked quicker so as maintain fluidity in loading and unloading of the containers that were destined for the United States, Europe and South America. This increased the productivity to more than 28 movements every hour on each crane.
