From the top of its control tower, the ambitious scale of Bahrain's new Khalifa bin Salman Port becomes clear.
The site, on reclaimed land off the island of Muharraq, is 900,000 square metres. Its container handling capacity is almost 10 times the amount the Gulf state imports.
APM Terminals, the arm of Denmark's AP Moller-Maersk that runs the terminal, hopes to fill the spare capacity by becoming a hub port, handling containers going to and from other ports in the upper Gulf.
