Bahrain is establishing itself as a regional transhipment hub through Khalifa Bin Salman Port (KBSP), with January recording the highest number of transhipment containers on record, reported Gulf Daily News.

According to the latest statistics, vessel movement at the KBSP increased in January and the port handled a record container throughout, which was 21.7 per cent higher than previous months.
"The KBSP's performance continues to improve month-on-month, both in terms of commercial and operational activities," said General Organisation of Sea Ports (GOP) director-general Hassan Al Majed.

"The port's world-class infrastructure, including sophisticated state-of-the-art technologies, top-of-the-line equipment, our team of experts at GOP and port operators APMT have collectively played a significant role in enhancing the efficiency and productivity of Bahrain's port.
