MTL celebrates 100m teu milestone

Hong Kong: Modern Terminals Limited (MTL), the pioneer of the first purpose-built container terminal in Hong Kong, today welcomed the arrival of its 100 millionth teu.

Since 1972, when the company set a world record by building Hong Kong’s first container terminal in just 20 months, the company has enjoyed solid growth.

100m teu, if placed end-to-end, would stretch over 600,000 km – 15 times around the Earth, MTL said in a release.  [12/06/14]
