The initial operation of Hamad Port’s Container Terminal also began in December last year. CT2 development consists of four phases. Full operation of Phase 1 and 2 will start before the end of 2022, taking the port’s capacity to three million TEUs per year. Phases 3 and 4 will be developed later to raise the port’s operational capacity according to the local market’s needs.
