Mwani Qatar has started introducing the new free storage period at Al Ruwais Port from Sunday, the company said in a statement on Monday.
Mwani said the move comes within the framework of supporting the private sector, offering new incentives to customers as well as enhancing the role of the port.
Al Ruwais Port is Qatar’s northern gateway to trade and one of the most important ports to meet the increasing needs of the domestic market of foodstuff, meat and fresh and chilled produce.
Under the new move, the company’s customers will get double the previously free storage days at Al Ruwais Port for general cargo shipments (export and import) as it increased to six days from three for imported cargo and 10 days from five for exported cargo.
Containers’ free period has been increased to five days from three for imported containers, and seven days from five for exported containers.
The increase of free storage period in Al Ruwais Port comes in conjunction with the start of operations in the second phase of the port, during which around 160,000 square metres of storage space was added to support the port operations.
The expansion contributes to achieving the Ministry of Transport and Communications’ strategic plan aimed at building stable and strong supply chain that meet the needs of the local market and provide the necessary support for development boom and the state projects, especially in the northern region, Mwani said.
Thanks to the extensive development, Al Ruwais Port was able to achieve significant growth in trade, import and export operations. It is experiencing steady growth in volumes of handling, particularly for livestock, foodstuffs and other cargo.
The port has achieved record performance in 2018, receiving up to 2,848 small and medium vessels with a growth of 35 percent over 2017. It handled 119,774 tonnes of general cargo, up 30 percent from 2017 and 548,967 head of livestock with 118 percent increase.The move offers new incentives to
