Qatar's ports of Hamad, Ruwais and Doha handled 226 vessels and 110,784 TEU in December 2025, marking a sharp rise in cargo throughput compared with the same period in 2024, reports Qatar's Peninsula.
General and bulk cargo volumes grew 64 per cent year on year, while ro-ro traffic reached 12,858 units and livestock shipments totalled 28,633 heads. Overall cargo throughput stood at 125,106 tonnes.
Mwani Qatar said 2025 was a landmark year, with Hamad Port ranked first in the Gulf and 11th globally in the Container Port Performance Index 2024 by the World Bank and S&P Global.
Transshipment accounted for nearly half of total volumes between January and November, reinforcing Qatar's role as a regional logistics hub under the Ministry of Transport's strategic plan.
In July, Hamad Port welcomed MSC Charleston on the inaugural voyage of the CHINOOK-CLANGA service, offering direct weekly sailings to East Asia and the US West Coast, linking ports from Colombo to Vancouver.
Hamad Port also set a Guinness World Record for the largest mangrove relocation project, while Mwani Qatar secured ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management systems.
Capt Abdulla Mohamed Al Khanji, CEO of Mwani Qatar, was named Personality of the Year at The Maritime Standard Awards 2025, recognising his contribution to advancing the maritime sector.
