Mwani Qatar Logs 13% Throughput Leap as June Vessel Calls Spike
Showcasing strong network resilience across the Arabian Gulf, Qatar’s commercial ports wrapped up June 2026 with a robust performance, logging a 13% year-on-year increase in container throughput. Data released by state port management company Mwani Qatar indicates that the double-digit cargo volume growth was heavily driven by a parallel surge in inbound vessel calls across its primary maritime gateways.
